Wimbledon: Roger Federer and former champions celebrate 100 years of Centre Court

Wimbledon marked 100 years of its Centre Court on Sunday with a musical celebration and a parade of former champions.

Eight-time men's champion Roger Federer, who is not playing this year because of a knee injury, was among those present to pay tribute to the famous arena.

"It is great to be here with all the other champions," 40-year-old Federer said. "I've been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court.

"It has given me my biggest wins and my biggest losses, and I hope I can come back here one more time.
