SIR CLIFF RICHARD certainly wasn’t going to miss the opening day of Wimbledon 2017, despite his recent battle with the BBC.

The music legend beamed at photographers as he arrived at the annual sporting event in the colours of the long-running tournament today.
The 76-year-old happily signed autographs for fans after emerging from his car solo and making a beeline for the courts.
Sir Cliff stood out from the crowd in an eye-catching, metallic blazer, which featured sparkly horizontal purple and green stripes.
The singer toned down the glitzy number with a white shirt and black trousers as well as matching shoes.

However, Sir Cliff did add a patterned blue tie to his attire, complete with a zig-zag print throughout.
The star, who has sold 250 million records worldwide, is a regular at Wimbledon and was joined by the likes of Dominic Cooper and the Duchess Of Cambridge.
Sir Cliff’s outing came just hours after he performed at Greenwich Music Time in the capital, reportedly leaving the audience in tears.

Last month, a judge told BBC bosses to give the crooner more information about how a journalist learned that he was being investigated as a result of a sexual assault allegation.
Mr Justice Mann ruled that they must tell Sir Cliff whether the source of information was someone working on a wider Metropolitan Police inquiry, an investigation codenamed Operation Yewtree.
He has sued the BBC over coverage of a raid at his apartment in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014.
