Sir David Beckham was among the first famous faces spotted at Wimbledon as the world's most prestigious tennis tournament got underway in SW19.
The former England football captain, who was recently knighted, arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with his mum Sandra.
The 50-year-old looked effortlessly stylish in a sharp navy suit as he posed for photos and greeted staff before taking his seat in the Royal Box.
Beckham also posed for a selfie with tennis legend Maria Sharapova, which was shared on X account OneTennis.
'Sharapova. Beckham. #Wimbledon. Enough said.' the accompanying caption said, along with a tennis ball and strawberry emoji.

The pair were among the early celebrity arrivals helping to launch the opening day of this year's tournament.
It marked a special outing for Sandra Beckham, who appeared delighted to be enjoying a day courtside with her son. The pair have often been spotted at Wimbledon over the years, with David calling it one of his 'favourite events of the summer.'
Also in attendance was former England football manager Sir Gareth Southgate, who arrived solo and gave a friendly wave to spectators.
He shared a joke with Beckham in the Royal Box.
Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne was seen arriving in a smart suit with wife Hannah and appeared in good spirits as he joined the action from the stands. A long-time Wimbledon fan, Redmayne is regularly spotted at Centre Court throughout the fortnight.
Cricket star Stuart Broad, who retired from professional play in 2023, also made an appearance. Now carving out a career in commentary, Broad looked relaxed as he chatted with fellow guests and enjoyed the sunshine.
Wimbledon is famed not only for its elite tennis but also for its A-list spectators – and with the likes of Beckham and Sharapova kicking off the festivities, this year's tournament promises glamour, drama, and plenty of star power.
