Glorious sunshine and amazing tennis scenes meant the public flocked in their droves to Wimbledon this year, smashing attendance records at SW19.

At the end of the first week of Wimbledon fortnight some 245,000 people passed through the gates of the All England Lawn Tennis Club - up to 1,000 up on last year’s record-breaking figures.
