#WIMBLEDONFINALS

A star-studded crowd filled Centre Court yesterday for the Wimbledon men’s singles final as Andy Murray beat Milos Raonic to take the men’s singles title for the second time. @Jgs_x said: “Spotted you in the crowd Nicola Sturgeon, and David_ Cameron sitting nearby. Tap him on the shoulder & ask him what the plan is.” @reasonwhyxx added: “Sorry but I’m just far more interested in seeing Benedict Cumberbatch in the crowd than in the whole match.” @Laura_demolover wrote: “Spotted Bradley Cooper!” @bowden_saint commented wryly: “I am constantly amazed at how well the celebrities and dignitaries do in the Wimbledon Finals ballot.” @omid9 – comedian Omid Djalili – wrote: “Raonic playing the way I tweet: sporadically effective, many unforced errors... ultimately heading for defeat” @matty_odonoghue said: “Well done #Andymurray great match and victory, nice #eu ending with #Davidcameron being booed as well” @Bookertalk wrote: “What a relief #Wimbledonfinal ended after 3 sets. Couldnt take any more excitement. Go #Murray” @Dwaltonofficial wrote: “Congratulations @andy_ murray. It really is deserved & you’ll be regarded as British for the next twelve months. Well done.”

#BRITISHGP

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton won his third consecutive British Grand Prix yesterday. @Jakobebrey said: “Top job Lewis Hamilton on winning the #Britishgp!” @f1writers proclaimed: “LEWIS HAMILTON: ROCK STAR” @Adamhaynicholls lamented: “Brits booing Nico Rosberg on the podium. What is this country coming to?” @gettinjohn added: “Congrats Lewis Hamilton good job in tough conditions.”

#JOHNPRESCOTT

John Prescott, deputy prime minister when Britain went to war with Iraq in 2003, said the invasion by UK and US forces was “illegal”. @Dovtrams1 wrote: “#Johnprescott waits until the ermine is in place before letting us know his real thoughts” @Markseddon1962 said: “You are right John. But this is what some of us were saying before the war in Iraq even began.” @Chrisjukes1 added: “Prescott should have resigned at the time. Lacks credibility.”
