HELLO

Wimbledon 2024 is underway, with a whole host of sports stars, celebrities and royalty flocking to SW19 for the annual tennis tournament.
While all eyes are firmly on the action, we're also doing some star spotting to see which VIPs have been lucky enough to bag a seat in the royal box on Centre Court each day.
The much-coveted seats have been used for friends and guests of the tennis tournament since 1922, with 74 spots in total.
Invitations come from the Chairman of the All England Club, taking into account suggestions from members of The Championships' Organising Committee, The Lawn Tennis Association and other relevant sources.
Guests get to watch matches on dark green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs but there's a strict dress code in place.
Gentleman are required to wear a suit or a jacket and tie, while ladies are asked not to wear hats to avoid obscuring the vision of those seated behind them.
After play is finished for the day, guests in the royal box are then invited to the Clubhouse for lunch, tea and drinks.
Take a look and see who is in the royal box today...
