Wimbledon began its farewell to Andy Murray with emotional tributes to the British star following his defeat in the mixed doubles with brother Jamie.
The two Murrays went down 7-6, 6-4 to Australian duo Rinky Hijikata and John Peers on what could be his final appearance on Centre Court.
But the contest itself was secondary to the tributes paid to Murray, who is playing his final Wimbledon, after the match.
Retired BBC tennis anchor and former player Sue Barker, 68, made a comeback as fans rose to applaud the two-time champion. His wife Kim Sears, his two eldest children, eight-year-old Sophia and six-year-old Edie, mother Judy and father William were among those in the crowd.
Murray was visibly emotional as he was shown a video including messages from the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
