FAMOUS FACES FLOCK TO WIMBLEDON
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a galaxy of well-known faces from across sport and entertainment, including David Beckham and Samuel L Jackson, were heading to Wimbledon on Sunday for the men's final.
William and Kate headed the Royal Box list, which also featured the Duke of Kent, president of the All England Club.
Sporting stars included former England football captain Beckham, who was due to be accompanied by wife Victoria, cycling Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy and former Wimbledon champions Ashley Cooper, Roy Emerson, Neale Fraser, Jan Kodes, Rod Laver, Manuel Santana and Stan Smith.
From showbusiness, Hollywood actors Jackson, Bradley Cooper and Chris Hemsworth were also invited to take seats in the exclusive 74-seat box.
Seven-time champion Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who won the title in 2011, were vying for the trophy.
For Federer, an eighth men's singles title would be a record, going one ahead of the mark he shares with Pete Sampras, champion seven times in eight years from 1993 to 2000, and William Renshaw, who won his seven titles in the 1880s.
