Sir David Attenborough appeared in good spirits as he arrived in the royal box on Centre Court on the first day of Wimbledon.

The 98-year-old broadcaster and naturalist smiled broadly as he arrived, wearing a navy blue jacket and patterned tie, with his daughter Susan.

Beckham, dressed in a beige jacket and brown tie, also appeared in a jovial mood.

Meanwhile, Andy Murray will make a decision on whether to play singles in the tournament after a practice session on Monday afternoon.

The 37-year-old underwent surgery to remove a spinal cyst nine days ago.

He showed signs of improvement hitting against fellow British player Kyle Edmund but remains unsure whether he is in good enough physical shape to play his first-round match against Czech Tomas Machac on Tuesday.
