The Wimbledon queue has been condemned by fans as the "worst" they have ever seen, as organisers warned new arrivals that they were highly unlikely to enter the grounds.
The blue skies and sunshine present early on Monday morning disappeared as south-west London was hit by lashings of rain in the afternoon, suspending play on some courts. Organisers advised people not to travel to join the queue just before noon.
Wimbledon tweeted: "Our grounds are set to be at capacity today, which means those already in the queue will be waiting several hours for admission. We advise people intending to queue today not to travel to Wimbledon."
