WIMBLEDON have told fans NOT to travel to the tennis today due to large numbers of people already waiting in the Queue.

At 7.30am this morning – three-and-a-half hours before play starts on the outside courts – an update was issued on the official Wimbledon website.

Thousands of people have been queuing for ground passes since the break of dawn – others even slept overnight in tents for the best possible spot – and by breakfast time, it had already reached capacity.

And with the temperature set to reach 33C this afternoon – if that happens it would make it the hottest opening-day for the Championships in history – there are concerns about punters falling ill.

A statement on the Wimbledon website said: “Please be aware that the Queue for Day 1 – Monday 30th June – is very busy.

“And to avoid disappointment we strongly advise you not to travel to the Grounds today.

“Please note there is hot weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday.

“In both The Queue and the Grounds there may be periods where shade is not available.

“Please plan appropriately, including bringing water, suncream and a hat.

“Water refill points are available in the Queue and around the Grounds.”

An announcement over the PA system put a dampener on any excitement about watching tennis later today by telling travellers before 9am that the area was incredibly busy.

The Queue offers fans the chance to buy limited Show Court tickets or a Grounds pass, which are sold on a best available, one per person queuing basis.

A total of 500 tickets for Centre Court – excluding the last four days – No1 Court and No2 Court are available for the days that the courts are in play.

More than 40,000 punters are expected to be passing through the gates with former US Open champion Emma Raducanu one of 14 Brits in action.

The previous highest temperature for the first day was 29.3C, which was recorded in 2001.

DRIVERS need to be on red alert if they’re leaving gadgets in their car today.

Fire safety experts have told The Sun that there are three items you must take out of your car as the UK basks in an ongoing heatwave.

Heading down to the beach is great fun – but consider taking your gadgets with you and not leaving them in the car[/caption]

Thousands of Brits flocked to beaches over the weekend, and Monday is set to be a scorcher – with temperatures rising as high as 34C or 35C in parts of Britain.

But as Brits park up to enjoy the sunny weather, it’s important to remember not to leave gadgets in the car.

Fire experts named three gadgets in particular to be careful with.

“Most devices that we use every day, phones, power banks, laptops etc have batteries containing lithium-ion,” a spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service told The Sun.

“If exposed to high temperatures, they can go into thermal runaway, which is where they become volatile and can explode and start a fire.

“Although this usually happens if they are over-charged, being exposed to prolonged heat can also cause this.”

HEAT HURT

It’s not just a fire risk either: heat can damage your devices.

That includes permanently shorting the battery life of your smartphone.

If that happens, you’ll have to charge your mobile more often – and there’s no way to fix it other than by replacing the battery, or upgrading to a newer model.

“The interior of a car on a hot day is almost like a greenhouse, trapping heat and causing temperatures to climb high,” the fire service told The Sun.

“Even if it doesn’t lead to thermal runaway, prolonged heat exposure can also impact the performance of the battery and shorten its life.”

CAR ‘LAST RESORT’

The official advice is to take gadgets with you rather than leave them in a car.

But if you’re pulling up at the beach and want to go for a dip, it can be difficult to avoid.

If there’s no possible alternative, the fire service revealed one of the best places in your car to place a gadget as a last resort.

Placing gadgets under the seats is one of of avoiding letting them get too hot, experts say – but it’s a last resort option and not as safe as bringing them with you[/caption]

“We would always recommend taking any devices that you need with you and not leaving them in a vehicle,” the fire service told us.

“If you do need to, think about where you park and try and find shaded areas.

“You can also think about where you leave the devices, for instance in the cooler parts of a car like under a seat.”

But you’re better off bringing your precious gadgets with you, if that’s an option.

Britain is tipped to be hotter than Ibiza today, a holiday hotspot with a temperature of 29C forecast.

“It is a hot picture as we move across England and Wales, particularly towards the southeast where temperatures could be around 34C or maybe even 35C,” said meterologist Greg Dewhurst.

He added: “The heat of the day could spark one or two heavy showers across eastern England as we move through the afternoon into the evening.”

It means Wimbledon is set for its hottest opening day ever on Monday.

AIDAN O’Brien marked his latest career milestone over the weekend as Lambourn became the 20th horse to complete the Anglo-Irish double.

Aidan, 55, was joined in the celebratory scenes at the Curragh’s winners enclosure by wife Ann-Marie.

Son Joseph, 32, is a rising star as a trainer[/caption]

Here, SunSport delves into his life beyond the race track with Ann-Marie and their four children.

WHERE IS AIDAN O’BRIEN FROM?

The Ballydoyle handler hails from County Wexford though his yard is actually located in Tipperary near Rosegreen. It is owned by John Magnier and Coolmore Stud.

He was born on October 16 1969 as one of six kids. His dad Denis was involved in the racing industry but only as a small-time trainer with his day job being farming.

Aidan went to secondary school at New Ross’ Good Counsel College. Interestingly, he’s been a proud pioneer since his teenage days and has always abstained from alcohol.

WHO IS AIDAN O’BRIEN’S WIFE?

He and Anne-Marie tied the knot in 1991. They have four children with racing fans needing no introduction to son Joseph who at 32, has already established himself as a quality trainer in his own right.

But their three other offspring in son Donnacha and daughters Sarah Anastasia have also been jockeys before so the whole family is steeped in the sport.

Aidan is no relation to Irish racing icon Vincent O’Brien who dominated on both sides of the Irish Sea before Aidan took over the Ballydoyle stables after he retired in 1994.

PERSONAL INSIGHTS

The flat legend largely keeps his private life just that.

But in a rare feature interview last year with the Daily Mail he allowed one of their reporters to follow him around for a day Ballydoyle.

In the piece he’s compared to Pep Guardiola due to his renowned attention to detail.

But days of failure still come such as City of Troy’s flop in the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Asked how he deals with setbacks like that, O’Brien emphasized compartmentalising is a crucial aspect of the racing game since it is such a relentless calendar.

He outlined: “Look, when the day is bad like that, I get on the plane and I sleep. That’s the first thing, to cut myself off.

“When I get home, I’ll have two or three hours work to do in the yard and set up tomorrow morning.

“That takes me to bed time. I’ll go straight to sleep and when I get up, I never thinking about yesterday. It’s gone.

“By thinking about it, you’re not going to get it back. You have to get focused on the days in front and learn from the things we need to be working on.

“I can sleep no problem. If you don’t sleep, the next day you’ll be destroyed and the reason I would sleep is to let your mind heal, relax and go on.

“If you start off the day after not sleeping it’s going to be a disaster the next day and that’s a little bit of a strange thing that I’ve done over the years.”

DRIPPING with sweat as she walks in the front door Mel Shelton, 30, drops her bag on the floor and peels off her jeans, shirt, and underwear.

But the psychology student isn’t headed to the shower.

She says sunbathing nude means she doesn’t end up with weird tan lines from her swimming costume[/caption]

Instead, she pours herself an ice-cold juice, grabs some sunscreen and walks out onto the balcony where she lays on her sunlounger – completely starkers.

“If people above my flat crane their necks they may get an eyeful,” she says.

“Window cleaners working on scaffolding across the road let out a cheer once and I got a thumbs up from a builder on the balcony above me too.

“A couple of OAP’s have  given me evils in the lift and mumbled people should stay covered on their ‘terrace’

“I’m not bothered by people getting the odd eyeful.

“I’d rather strip down than cover up to enjoy this current burst of warm weather.” 

Mel, a hairdresser and mature psychology student, lives in her two-bedroom rented apartment in her block of flats in Warrington, Cheshire.

“I chose this flat because the balcony gets sun in winter and summer,” she says.

“It’s the outdoor space many people who live in apartments don’t get to enjoy.

“I moved in two years ago; my balcony has been my ‘me time’ sunning space in the hot weather.

“It’s also saved me cash on the sunbeds I would otherwise be using.”

However, while Mel’s sunbathing spot is relatively secluded, she doesn’t go totally unnoticed. 

“Window cleaners and repair men are often working on the outside of the apartment block,” she explains.

“There have been a few times when I opened my eyes to gawking blokes and the odd wolf-whistle.

“As for grumpy OAPs who somehow manage to spot my bare skin, I just smile when they waggle their fingers at me.

“I told one older woman she should have a go herself and the next time she saw me she looked tanned and gave me a cheeky wink.”

But while plenty of Brits will enjoy basking in the sun this week, according to recent research a growing number will be stripping off just like Mel.

An Ipsos survey found 6.75 million or 14% of British adults describe themselves as naturists an increase of 8% since 2011.

But more astonishingly of those people more than 30% of women are stripping off in 2025 empowered using naturism as a vehicle for improved body confidence, self-esteem, and mental well-being.

Naturists groups say around 2 million women are now bearing all now compared to a 2011 when figures show less than 600,000 were stripping off in the sun.

“I am one of those women, I have learnt to love my body and not be ashamed of it,” says Mel.

“I am hoping for a heatwave this week. I may even take a day off work just to top up my tan if that happens.”

Join the growing number of other women stripping off and embracing ‘buff love’

Mel Shelton

Mel’s naked and topless sunbathing obsession began more than a decade ago.

“I started sunbathing topless at home when I was 19,” she explains.

“I’d find a sheltered area of the garden and ensure my bikini top didn’t leave unwanted marks.”

But she admits that her dedication to achieving the perfect tan has seen her get burnt on a few occasions, literally.

“I have ended up with a burnt bottom and boobs,” she says.

“I learnt my lesson and always top up with SPF as I have fair skin.

While she may have faced some judgement, Mel wants to encourage other women to starkers sunbathing and realise how beneficial it can be.

“I know firsthand that if you have the guts to strip off and enjoy the sun you don’t get so hung up and obsessed with body issues,” she says.

“It’s not just for an all over tan there are multiple health benefits as well as you’re allowing your skin to breathe and get some Vitamin D.

“Just remember if you are going to go topless or naked, check who is around, be considerate and don’t break the law.

“The weather’s heating up so join the growing number of other women stripping off and embracing ‘buff love’.”

A MAN who complained of “breathing pain” has been left without his nose and a hole in his face after being diagnosed with cancer.

William Brogan, 47, was diagnosed with lymphoma in January after experiencing nose pain for more than a year.

After unsuccessful rounds of antibiotics, another biopsy found he had facial lymphoma, which had spread from his nose into his mouth[/caption]

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and glands spread throughout your body.

Despite multiple doctors’ appointments, William says he was simply given antibiotics which didn’t improve things.

He then had an initial biopsy in September 2024 which came back inconclusive.

Eventually after another round of unsuccessful antibiotics and pain breathing through his nose, William was given another biopsy in January which revealed a type of facial lymphoma.

The cancer had spread from William’s nose into his mouth, and he was told he’d need surgery.

He then underwent a 20-hour surgery to remove the cancer – which involved having his nose and upper gum removed – as well as making sure there was no cancer in his neck.

In the same operation, surgeons attempted to rebuild the gum using healthy tissue from under his arm – but it didn’t work, as the muscles in his mouth didn’t take to it.

William then had a second five-hour operation to remove parts of the graft and address his gum, before a third 12-hour operation which saw his surgeons rebuild his upper mouth by taking a skin graft from his arm and muscle from his waist.

He has since been undergoing radiotherapy, which is set to finish shortly, before work begins on reconstructing his nose.

William, a former chef from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, said: “I have never seen anybody else like this in my life.

“Diazepane [used to relieve symptoms of anxiety] is the thing that gives me the courage to go out.

“People say ‘there’s that man with the hole in his face’ “They’ve already taken a picture of my face, so they know what colour to make my nose.”

William claims he had told doctors for months that something was wrong with his nose.

He added: “I had been telling them for months and months that it was something more – you know your own body.

“Now I’ve got a hole in my face and a triangle where they removed part of my nose.”

He believes the cancer could have been caught earlier before it spread further around his neck and face.

William said: “It took them over a year to get a biopsy and find it was cancer.

“They could have caught this nine month earlier before it travelled into my mouth.

“The doctors didn’t know what it was – they gave me antibiotics to keep on top of it, but it wasn’t getting better.

“I just had a sore nose.

“I kept asking for antibiotics and another appointment took weeks to get.

“The antibiotics were helping at first but when I asked for more help I had to wait for an appointment.

“It got worse in that time waiting.”

William is now hoping the radiotherapy has done enough to keep the cancer at bay so he can focus on rebuilding his face.

He said: “I’m hoping to have a skin graft to try and rebuild my face within the year.

“I finished with radiotherapy which I’ve been having for six weeks on Wednesday (18/06).

“I can’t thank the surgeons enough; they saved my life.”
