Whip out the strawberries and cream – it’s time for Wimbledon!

While the oldest tennis tournament in the world draws millions of viewers every year, we’re always curious about who’s made it to the matches in person. For us, stargazing has almost become a sport of its own!

Pictured above right, Gwen Stefani and hubby Gavin Rossdale are loyal supporters of Roger Federer, and attend regularly with the tennis player's wife, Miroslava Vavrinec.

Whether it’s their love for the game, their support of a countryman, or the chance to rub shoulders with royalty, celebrities are sure to flock to Centre Court.

Over the years, we’ve seen all manner of famous sorts taking their seats at the All England Tennis and Croquet Club. From movie stars and sports stars to the “It” names of fashion and music – and, if we’re (very) lucky, even dukes, princes and queens.

We’ve picked out a few of the more famous fans who have graced the courts of Wimbledon over the past few years. Who would you like to see find their way back to Centre Court this year?
