GrandmaAnge that chap is an volunteer LTA steward called David whose job is to make sure only family/invitees sit in the Players Box. He worried me for years but in the end I googled him and found out.

If she were to smile she would get 'laughter lines' around her eyes and mouth later on in life and heaven forbid she should have that ! So she may well have a line free face but she would be famous for being an old sour puss and I know which I would rather so heres togrin and smile every time .

Why oh why does victoria beckham always look so bored when she out and about ?

And there was Alex Salmond, jumping on the Andy Murray bandwagon.

Just more perks for the priveliged. The real tennis fans had paid for their seats or queued all night to sit on a soggy hill.

Who was the bloke sitting in the corner of the box occupied by the Murray family, Ivan Lendl and other members of the entourage? He looks like Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken and wears an interesting hat.
He's there every year and looks totally disinterested in the tennis. Perhaps he's visiting from Formula One!

So pleased to see Cameron at Wimbledon. It meant he wasn't ruining - sorry running - the country.

I found the whole celebrity camera thing tedious too.

Victoria could not resist pouting and positioning her pony-tail when aware of the camera showing slight interest in her. I find it all rather sad

These "celebs" are only there because they are on freebies (royals included). Any top sporting event, big concert you will find them there. Best seats in the house all for free. Sickening.

I got so fed up with the coverage yesterday! I didn't want to see any more shots of Victoria "pouty" Beckham or the Middleton sisters looking wholesome. And even less David Cameron and Boris Johnson sitting a row in front of each other in the Royal Box.

It's interesting to see which celebs are into tennis but I don't want to see slow motion smiles from Kate, thanks very much BBC!
