Wimbledon terror block

-

A RING of steel and concrete has been thrown around the Wimbledon tennis championsh­ips to ward off terror attacks.

Security at the tournament, starting on Monday, is set to be the tightest seen.

Precaution­s include giant security gates where spectators face searches to a line of blocks to protect the famous queue from a jihadi vehicle onslaught.

Armed police with sniffer dogs will walk the grounds. Supt Jo Edwards, leading the Met operation, said: “Recent terror attacks are at the forefront of our minds.”

Meanwhile, roads have been shut in Hyde Park as security is stepped up for a series of star-studded concerts.
