Murray at Wimbledon Thousands queue for chance to say goodbye to a British legend

Yesterday marked a changing of the guard. While for many this may have meant electing a new prime minister, at Wimbledon tens of thousands queued to bid adieu to Andy Murray and to cheer on the next generation of British tennis stars.

Murray competed alongside his older brother, Jamie, in the men's doubles yesterday where the pair went out in the first round, although it wasn't quite his final appearance - he is due to play with Emma Raducanu in the mixed doubles. There had been hope he would play in the tournament's singles but he pulled out on Tuesday after being unable to sufficiently recover after back surgery 12 days ago.

Yesterday, just after the gates to the grounds opened at 10am, there were about 12,000 people in the queue for tickets. Many were there to see the Murrays play in the afternoon. At 12pm, people were advised not to travel to the grounds to avoid disappointment.
