Wimbledon: Queen Elizabeth II has arrived at Wimbledon for her first visit to the All England Club since 1977, and she's expected to watch the opening Centre Court match involving British player Andy Murray.
The queen emerged from a car near Wimbledon's practice courts an hour before the day's first matches, and walked toward Centre Court along a walkway lined with spectators.
When she reached the members' lawn, she met several players, including Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams and Andy Roddick, and former Wimbledon champions Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King.
Serena Williams greeted the queen with the curtsy she had been practicing. Roddick and Federer bowed.
Spectators cheered as the queen then walked to the clubhouse for lunch.
