In what may come as a blow for tennis fans hoping to capture the perfect picture of themselves at the championships, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) warned selfie sticks will not be allowed in.

A ticketholders’ guide for this year’s tournament says: “In common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, The Championships will not allow ‘selfie sticks’ into the grounds.”
