Roger Federer became the first man to win Wimbledon eight times and extended his record to 19 Grand Slam titles with victory over Croatia's Marin Cilic.
The Swiss third seed won 6-3 6-1 6-4 as seventh seed Cilic struggled with blisters on his left foot and broke down in tears during the second set.
Federer, 35, finished the contest in one hour and 41 minutes to claim his first Wimbledon title since 2012. He never lost a set all through this competition. He becomes the oldest man in the Open Era to win the Wimbledon title.
Federer's children - two sets of twins - look on from the box as their old man is presented with the famous trophy which he knows so well.
I wouldn't be surprised if the kids - older girls Charlene and Myla, and their younger brothers Lenny and Leo - are slightly scared by the noise.
