Ronan Keating's wife Storm has said she was "honoured" to sit in the royal box at Wimbledon as a host of Irish stars flocked to the tennis court.
The couple jetted into London for day two of the UK sports event.
Sharing a snap of herself and Ronan in their seats in the Royal Box, Storm wrote: "Arrived back in London and were honoured to attend one of the most iconic sporting events of this country #Wimbledon in their Royal Box.
"The sun was shining, the courts were pristine and of course the play was outstanding. Thank you @wimbledon for inviting us along, truly a memorable day that we'll never forget. Nor will we forget those #strawberryandcream!"
Ronan and Storm weren't the only Irish faces in attendance.
Angela Scanlon and her husband Roy were also there to enjoy a day out at the tennis, as well as Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally.
"A ball was had! Wimbledon, we loved you. Thank you @hellomag @emirates for having us… we'll be back, essentially inviting ourselves for next year," Vogue captioned a series of snaps of herself and her best friend.
And Irish actor Chris O'Dowd and his wife Dawn O'Porter also enjoyed a day out at the annual event, keeping cool in the London heatwave.
On Wednesday, US star Olivia Rodrigo and Dave Grohl were spotted at Wimbledon.
Rodrigo – fresh from her Glastonbury set and a string of London shows – sat in the Royal Box with her boyfriend, actor Louis Partridge, to watch the day three matches.
Foo Fighters frontman Grohl was in attendance with his wife, director Jordyn Blum, and WWE star and actor John Cena was also in the Royal Box.
England football manager Thomas Tuchel was in attendance, as was one of his predecessors, Roy Hodgson.
Mamma Mia! actor Dominic Cooper turned heads in a baby blue suit, and Hollywood power couple Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow were seen chatting and laughing as they arrived at SW19.
Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley and former England footballer Graeme Le Saux were also in the stands, alongside long-time Wimbledon regular Sir Cliff Richard.
The celebrity guests were watching Emma Raducanu's clash with defending champion Marketa Vondrousova, followed by world number two Carlos Alcaraz against British wildcard Oscar Tarvet.
On No 1 Court, Cameron Norrie was taking on Frances Tiafoe, while Katie Boulter was facing Solana Sierra and Aryna Sabalenka was playing Marie Bouzkova.
A total of 78 guests were invited to the Royal Box for day three, with other names on the list including singer Nick Jonas and his wife Priyanka Chopra.
