Hollywood star Jessica Alba and British astronaut Major Tim Peake were among the stars attending Wimbledon on the fourth day of the championships.

Maj Peake, who became the first British European Space Agency astronaut to visit the International Space Station in December 2015, was spotted in the royal box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon.

The 51-year-old was wearing a navy suit with a dark green, navy and white striped tie, pairing it with black sunglasses.

Earlier in the day, Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm was pictured on the lawn wearing a baby pink pant suit, paired with white trainers and a black vest top, ahead of her performance at The Hill in New York on July 15.

Retired skier Lindsey Vonn was also snapped at SW19 on Thursday, sporting a white crocheted vest with blue and red detailing, on top of a matching linen T-shirt and trousers.
