As the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon naturally attracts thousands of fans from around the globe each year.
And among those spotted courtside so far this year are several famous faces, as the event welcomes back full crowds of spectators.
On Saturday, a star-studded crowd watched Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan beat Tunisian player Ons Jabeur at Centre Court, making her the first Kazakh player to win a Grand Slam singles championship.
The Duchess of Cambridge was on hand to present the winner's trophy to Rybakina, after watching the game from the royal box.
Also spotted in the crowd were veteran tennis player Billie Jean King, who won 39 major titles during her career, and Top Gun actor Tom Cruise. Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page sat next to actor Rami Malek, who attended with his actress girlfriend Lucy Boynton.
On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in the crowd at Centre Court to watch current world No 1, Serbia's Novak Djokovic, beat Italian player Jannik Sinner, before watching British player Cameron Norrie win against Belgium's David Goffin.
David Beckham has also been spotted courtside during this year’s tournament, watching the women's quarter-final match on Wednesday with his mother, Sandra West. Wimbledon regular Hugh Grant was at the same match alongside his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein.
Actor couple Dominic Cooper and Gemma Chan were among the faces in the crowd on day 10 of Wimbledon, while fellow actor Sir Ian McKellen was spotted taking in the action through a pair of binoculars on day eight.
There have also been plenty of famous faces at events held around the tournament, including the Ralph Lauren event with British Vogue, which was attended by celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller, Simone Ashley and Lashana Lynch.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour also made an appearance during the event's first week, while singers Sir Cliff Richard, Melanie C and Ciara were all also in attendance.

Freezer tips
- Always make sure food is completely cool before freezing.
- If you’re cooking in large batches, divide into either family-sized or individual portions to freeze.
- Ensure the food is well wrapped in foil or cling film. Even better, store in fully sealable, labelled containers or zip-lock freezer bags.
- The easiest and safest way to defrost items such as the stews and sauces mentioned is to do so in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
