Sue Barker was in tears as she presented her final day of Wimbledon coverage for the BBC in 2022.
Broadcasting legend Sue, 68, who fronted tennis for the BBC for nearly three decades, was surprised on air with a touching tribute video.
It included praise and thanks from a host of tennis stars, including Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Martina Navratilova, Tim Henman and Pete Sampras also supplied contributions.
“I think it is fair to say we’ve broken her,” Clare Balding later joked as nearby attendees chanted Sue’s name.

Commentator John McEnroe surprised Sue on air as he introduced a highlight package showing her as a player and anchor.
And among the many fond words said about Sue, Andy Murray said: “I’ve grown up watching you on the TV. And then obviously been interviewed by you here many times.
“You’re going to be sadly missed by everyone who loves and watches tennis.”
Billie Jean King has referred to Sue as “the GOAT” on several occasions. The former number one US star added: “She has lived it. She understands it. Sue understands the highs and lows of Wimbledon as a player.”
The incredible Sue Barker. The best in the business.
