Sir Cliff's taste in jackets has not improved since his 1996 singalong

Fortunately for everyone Sir Cliff Richard got his invite on Monday when the weather was at its best.

Though the burning sunshine may have had Sir Cliff dreaming of a 'Summer Holiday' we were fortunately not subjected to any of his warblings.

While his singing voice may have been kept quiet, his salmon pink jacket was so loud that it must have distracted the players.

Another star of the singing world, Elaine Page, was in attendance on Tuesday, joined by Tottenham boss Glenn Hoddle and Olympic triple jump champion Jonathan Edwards.

Somewhat eerily for Andre Agassi though was the appearance of a Clinton in the Royal Box, following his exit in the French Open when Bill was an onlooker.

Clearly, Di Clinton, not believed to be any relation of the former US President, did not have the same effect on the 1992 champion.

Headline grabbers

Australia's Olympic hero Cathy Freeman was here on Wednesday, ironically when none of her compatriots were on Centre Court.

Bit of a planning mistake there perhaps, and possibly the reason why she didn't spend too much time watching Serena Williams, Andy Roddick and Tim Henman.

Thursday was media day as Mirror editor Piers Morgan and the Independent on Sunday's Janet Street Porter had to watch their Ps and Qs.

And without a pitch invasion in sight the England and Wales Cricket Board's chief executive Tim Lamb popped in for his dose of strawberries and cream on Friday.

While Jonathan Edwards' impeccable manners earnt him another invite.
