David Beckham took part in a Mexican wave with his mum Sandra in the Royal Box as they got in the spirit for day one of Wimbledon on Monday.

The star, who caught a flight home after watching England’s World Cup match in New Jersey on Saturday, treated his mum Sandra to a day at the All England Club.

Looking dapper in a grey suit, David, 51, and Sandra took their VIP seats alongside Mary Berry and former tennis player Debbie Jevans, with Mark Rylance, Alexandra Armstrong and Katherine Jenkins in the row behind. 

The Beckhams’ invite to the Royal Box wasn’t extended to David’s son Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull though.

Tennis superfan Romeo and his girlfriend were also spotted making their SW19 arrival, but had to settle for the cheap seats.   

Romeo looked suave in a brown suit with a white T-shirt whilst Kim sported a glam white dress.

Elsewhere Tess Daly continued to sport her wedding and engagement ring while leading the celebrity glamour as Wimbledon kicked off. 

The newly-single Strictly star, 57, announced last month that she was splitting from husband Vernon Kay, yet has maintained her marital jewels. 

She looked sensational in a lace gown as she arrived at the sporting event alongside her business partner and pal Gayle Lawton while Amanda Holden was in attendance to inject yet more glamour into the chic day out. 

Maura Higgins made a bold statement in a tennis inspired look as she wore white sling-backs with tennis balls pierced into the heels – in a look similar to Zendaya’s ‘method dressing’ style while promoting 2024’s Challengers.

They were joined by the opera singer Katherine Jenkins, 46, in wearing white looks in a nod to the tennis tournament’s launch day, while Pixie Lott wore a thigh-skimming mini and Katherine Ryan joined her tennis wear-clad husband Bobby Koostra. 

 Isla Fisher took to social media to share snaps before arriving at the big day.

Other stars at the event included Amanda Holden, who wowed in a pinstripe two-piece as she posed up a storm outside the courts. 

Amanda’s Heart FM co-host Ashley Roberts looked incredible in a white mini dress with buttons extending along the bust. 

Ronan and Storm Keating opted for complementary ensembles, with Ronan in a cream suit and the model in a white shirt and maxi skirt. 

Ashley James went against the grain of the day, as she shunned the favoured all-white looks of the stars and instead wore a pink slip dress with a white blazer.  

Rachel Stevens opted for a beach-style look, with a Bardot dress with a statement frill paired with a stone-coloured clutch bag and shoes. 

David was in great spirits waving to the crowd after a busy week which saw him watch England's World Cup match in New Jersey on Saturday

One Direction star Niall Horan was joined by his stunning girlfriend Amelia Woolley. 

Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood appeared at the event for the first time since stepping back as a commentator and now acting as guest. 

She has traditionally provided weather updates throughout the Championships yet will be absent from screens after stepping down from her role on BBC Breakfast in April following a 28 year career in the field. 

Her replacement Isa Guha paid tribute to Carol minutes into Wimbledon’s opening coverage, saying: ‘Now, this is normally the time in the show that we head across to Carol Kirkwood for a British weather update, especially here in the sunshine… 

‘It would have been great to see her, but after 28 years on BBC Breakfast, Carol has moved on. So, we wish you all the best, Carol. Hopefully you’ve got your feet up on the sofa with a cup of tea to enjoy the tennis this week.’ 

Confirming Carol’s replacements, Isa continued: ‘Of course, there isn’t one presenter who could replace Carol, so we’re going to have a selection of BBC weather’s finest over the two weeks, including today with Matt Taylor.

‘Welcome along, Matt. How is it looking today, and for the rest of the fortnight?’

Pointless star Alexander Armstrong looked stylish in a blue suit as he arrived hand in hand with his wife Hannah.

Wimbledon have told fans to stop coming down to the queue on opening day after enormous numbers of hopefuls descended in the hope of grabbing a ticket.

The famous Wimbledon queue was visibly heaving and it has been confirmed that 10,000 people were there by 8.30am.

Many of those queuing overnight will have been planning on grabbing a No1 Court ticket to watch Emma Raducanu – but those hopes were dashed by the British No1’s late-night withdrawal on Sunday after a scan revealed she suffered a stress fracture.

Jannik Sinner will start his title defence against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanović in the first match on Centre Court.

Sabalenka also begins her campaign against Teodora Kostovic.

Novak Djokovic, a 24-time major champion, is also in action on an opening day and starts his latest bid for a 25th grand slam title against China’s Wu Yibing.
