Who's in the Royal Box at Wimbledon? Ellie Goulding, Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Stephen Fry among famous names at Centre Court on day 11

Day 11 of Wimbledon and the Royal Box is once again drawing a starry crowd, with Ellie Goulding, Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Stephen Fry among today's high profile attendees.

Love Me Like You Do singer Goulding brought her signature style to SW19, while actor Ben Whishaw and author and broadcaster Sir Stephen added a touch of theatre and intellect to the lineup.

Sir Cliff wore a striking blue crocodile-pattern jacket and white tie as he arrived at Centre Court.

Actress Jenna Coleman and actor David Suchet were also spotted enjoying the action. Rob Brydon was seated next to Sir Stephen, adding to the familiar faces courtside. Swedish tennis star and five-time Wimbledon champion Björn Borg was also in attendance, bringing a sporting icon to the day’s line-up.

Ellie Goulding is wearing a sleeveless, off-white dress with vertical taupe and beige stripes.

Also appearing was former tennis player Annabel Croft, who could be seen chatting to former Strictly judge Dame Darcey Bussell.
