Heightened Wimbledon security measures over fears of suicide attack

The Wimbledon tennis championship will see tighter security checks "than ever before”, with extensive searches and a visible armed police presence, according to The Independent. 

The tennis club has urged people planning to watch the tournament to check the Wimbledon website before they travel and to expect bag and body searches before being admitted to the grounds.

“The level of security and policing is commensurate with the threat and multi-layered, and it has been heightened as you would expect with everything that has been going on," a Wimbledon spokesman said.

Wimbledon’s organisers have been working in partnership with the police who will provide an armed presence at the tournament.
