Many children have been raised in the flat above the shop but this is no ordinary shop. Outside the front door is the world’s press, outside the back door you might find the massed bands of the Household Division and, downstairs, your mother or father is making historic decisions.

"I wasn’t a good student; I was often caught drinking and smoking, and I didn’t bring optimism to algebra. Could we fidgeters have done with more help?

Andy Murray has withdrawn from the Wimbledon singles draw after coming to the conclusion this morning that he is not physically capable of playing.
Murray had left it late to decide whether or not he would step on Centre Court for a first-round match against Tomas Machac, the world No39 from the Czech Republic, on Tuesday afternoon. Wimbledon schedulers had put him in the third slot on the main show court, allowing him as much recovery time as possible.

He will be replaced by a lucky loser from the final round of qualifying.
