David Beckham was back in the Royal Box for day one of Wimbledon on Monday.
The star, who caught a flight home after watching England’s World Cup match in New Jersey on Saturday, treated his mum Sandra to a day at the All England Club.
Looking dapper in a grey suit, David, 51, and Sandra took their VIP seats alongside Mary Berry and former tennis player Debbie Jevans, with Mark Rylance, Alexandra Armstrong and Katherine Jenkins in the row behind.
The Beckhams’ invite to the Royal Box wasn’t extended to David’s son Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull though.
Tennis superfan Romeo and his girlfriend were also spotted making their SW19 arrival, but had to settle for the cheap seats.
Romeo looked suave in a brown suit with a white T-shirt whilst Kim sported a glam white dress.

Maura Higgins made a bold statement in a tennis inspired look as she wore white sling-backs with tennis balls pierced into the heels – in a look similar to Zendaya‘s ‘method dressing’ style while promoting 2024’s Challengers.

Confirming Carol’s replacements, Isa continued: ‘Of course, there isn’t one presenter who could replace Carol, so we’re going to have a selection of BBC weather’s finest over the two weeks, including today with Matt Taylor.
‘Welcome along, Matt. How is it looking today, and for the rest of the fortnight?’
Pointless star Alexander Armstrong looked stylish in a blue suit as he arrived hand in hand with his wife Hannah.

The famous Wimbledon queue was visibly heaving and it has been confirmed that 10,000 people were there by 8.30am.
Many of those queuing overnight will have been planning on grabbing a No1 Court ticket to watch Emma Raducanu – but those hopes were dashed by the British No1’s late-night withdrawal on Sunday after a scan revealed she suffered a stress fracture.
