Another surprise guest in the best seats was Paralympian sprinter Libby Clegg’s guide dog Hatti. The black Labrador, who has helped Libby, 27, since 2014, was only the second mutt let into the Royal Box in Wimbledon’s history.
She sat quietly during play as Libby and fiancé Dan Powell, 26, a visually-impaired Paralympic judo player, enjoyed the tennis action.
Silver medallist Libby, forced to wear a blindfold at last year’s Rio games because she has some peripheral vision, was also joined by her guide runner Chris Clark. Other Olympic and Paralympic stars invited into the Centre Court’s top box included cycling husband and wife duo Laura Kenny, 25, and Jason, 29.
Laura showed off her growing baby bump.
Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 22, rower Helen Glover, 31, and boxer Nicola Adams, 34, were also there.
