West Lothian BGT singer Susan Boyle spotted out as fans all say the same thing
West Lothian's Susan Boyle posed up at Wimbledon over the weekend and left fans all saying the same thing.
The BGT singer, 64, shared some moments on her social media from the iconic sporting event on Saturday and congratulated Iga Świątek on her win.
Donning a white dress, blazer and gold shoes - the star said she had a "lovely time" as fans commented on her "amazing" appearance.
Susan wrote on Instagram: "Lovely time at @wimbeldon yesterday! Congratulations to @iga.swiatek on her brilliant win."
The montage of photos collected over 250 comments from her dedicated fans.
One person said: "Looking so beautiful, what a gorgeous outfit."
Another wrote: "I love your outfit."
A third fan added: "You have such a beautiful inner charm and level of rare kindness. The world can do with more like you."
We previously reported Susan Boyle is 'living her best life' as she updated fans with a post in the sun.
She was 'glowing' as she was snapped at a friend's BBQ. Susan was wearing a white and blue striped button dress, paired with a chic sun hat.
Posting to Instagram, she said: "What lovely weather we're having!

"Yesterday I popped round to a friend's for a wee BBQ! Great food, great company, and plenty of laughs in the sunshine!"
Her loyal legion of fans were quick to rush to the comments. One simply wrote, "Your looking great Susan."
Another fan echoed, "You look great Ms. Boyle! So good to see you thriving and living your best life," as a third quipped, "Laughs as often as possible, delighted to see you so at ease."
Susan Boyle, the vocal powerhouse who shot to fame with her stunning rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables on BGT in 2009, continues to win over fans to this day.
Despite being the runner-up to dance troupe Diversity, her introductory album broke global sales records, topping over 10 million units sold. Following the ITV competition, the West Lothian sensation, lovingly dubbed 'SuBo', has maintained a comparatively quiet life, treasuring her Scottish roots.
Nonetheless, she made waves on an international stage when she starred on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2018 and received a golden buzzer courtesy of Mel B, despite not securing a spot in the final five.
More recently, Susan featured at the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 with her singing talent and is now poised to delight attendees at the forthcoming National Prayer Breakfast for Scotland in Edinburgh.
Expressing her excitement to RSVP Live, she said: "I am thrilled to be performing at the Scottish Prayer Breakfast. My faith has always been my strength and backbone throughout my career."

Susan isn't sitting on the fence over support for Palestinians- Vladimir McTavish
Susam Riddell at the Hot Water Comedy Club With only a week to go until the start of this year's Fringe, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Comedians will do anything for a few column inches at this time of year. However, nobody has ever planned to find themselves up in court on a terrorism charge.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... But that is what happened to a friend of mine, Glaswegian stand-up Susan Riddell on Monday. Last weekend, along with two others, she allegedly drove a van into the fence of arms manufacturer Leonardo in North Edinburgh, in protest against Israeli atrocities in Gaza. The company, formerly BAE Systems, has been alleged to be supplying weapons to the Israeli Defence Force. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Susan has been charged with malicious mischief and contravening the Road Traffic Act. However, as this could be interpreted as supporting Palestine Action, she is also charged under the UK Government's draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act. Photographs of the incident are on the BBC News website. The van has crashed into the perimeter fence of the Leonardo complex from the next door car park at Morrison's on Ferry Road. One panel of the fence has been slightly dislodged. We all remember the images of the bodged attack on Glasgow Airport from 2007. A car rammed into the front of the terminal building at high speed and burst into flames, engulfing the driver in fire, only for the guy to be dragged out of the inferno and given a sound kicking. That was a terrorist incident. Susan's incident took place next the Click & Collect pick-up point. I'd be willing to bet more damage has been done to that fence by careless drivers. This is not so much taking a sledgehammer to break a nut as taking a pneumatic drill to open a pistachio. Riddell has now had to cancel her Fringe show, due to her bail conditions preventing her from entering Edinburgh. Did the judge think she was planning on driving into another fence? In Edinburgh during the festival, where hour-long traffic jams are the norm? She may have had to cancel her 2025 Fringe, but Susan Riddell has one hell of a story to tell next year. That show has already written itself. Personally, I will drive through a fence to see it.

BRIAN READE: 'Fat-shaming will be new bag-sizing for airlines - start worrying now'
Beware the bonus-conscious airline staff sniffing around for any chance to slap a penalty on the unwitting traveller, says Brian Reade Now that MPs are taking a break from work until a few weeks before the clocks go back, we are officially in the Silly Season. Which means, between now and the inevitable riots outside asylum hotels next month, us media outlets will seek out quirky stories to make you laugh. Like the one about the teenager who runs Warwickshire County Council for bureaucracy-slashing Reform UK demanding £150k of public money to pay people to tell him what to do. The season's biggest laugh, though, is Donald Trump's trip to Scotland, as his presence here always raises a titter. Remember last time, when paragliders flew expletive-ridden banners and comedian Janey Goodley stood outside his golf club with a placard that declared Trump was a thing that rhymed with runt? Sadly, Janey is no longer with us but there's a good chance protestors will repeat her message in 40ft letters on the nearby beach. Already a sign has been erected outside his Aberdeenshire golf course saying: "twinned with Epstein Island" and bald SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has said he won't be able to meet the president as 'I'll be washing my hair". But the best humour will come when Trump gives an after-dinner speech in one of his clubs, after being allowed to win, yet again, the Bestest Golfer In The World Invitation Trophy, with three mysterious holes-in-one while everyone was distracted. I reckon it will go something like this: 'I feel incredibly humbled to be back in the land of my dear mother, who as you know, left here in days when economic migrants with no papers and English as their second language were welcome in America. Because they were good people. And white. 'She often told me I was related to the great Charles Stuart, which I kinda like. Bonny Prince Donnie sounds nice. And that also makes my wife Melania Queen of Scots and my son Barron The Bruce. 'Mel Gibson, who's a terrific guy - and by the way that racism stuff was fake news - told me he based his Braveheart character on me leading the January 6 uprising. Which was nice. Although, unlike that Wallace guy, I got shot and survived. 'So you see folks, no world leader has ever been more Scottish than me. The only food I eat is from Clan McDonald and when people see me in a kilt they say I have the best legs ever. 'And I have great, great plans for my homeland. I am renaming The Firth of Forth the Firth of Forty-fifth and Forty-seventh US President and I'm going to finish that terrible job done by Crooked Hadrian and build a proper wall, a beautiful wall to keep all dark-looking immigrants out. 'By the way, the Outer Hebrides remind me of Greenland, so I'm going to buy them and turn them into a big, beautiful, military base to hit Russia. 'I will be meeting fans from Celtic and Rangers to get them to end their hatred as I need to score a few more points to get that Nobel peace prize. Something Sleepy Joe never would have done because he was in the IRA. 'Anyway, I have to leave you as I've got a high level meeting with Prince Andrew in Balmoral to discuss child welfare. So haste ye back as us Scotlanders say. And oh, I'm still putting 50% tariffs on whisky, salmon and shortbread.' It's been sad hearing Fiona Phillips's husband Martin Frizell promote a book about my old colleague's battle with Alzheimer's disease. Fiona was a proper Mirror person. A loyal but critical friend of the Labour Party with deeply-held principles who often wrote poignantly about her parents' struggles with dementia, only to be struck down with early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 61. The book called Remember When, written by our former boss Alison Phillips, charts Fiona's courageous battle against a soul-crushing disease most families have had to cope with, or probably will do. Because, scandalously, as Martin has been pointing out, for every £1 given to cancer research in this country only 31p is spent on dementia research. Which has to change. In the meantime, Fiona, may you face your battle with much courage and love. *** If you break into a cold sweat every time you go through an airport gate fearing you'll be pulled for having an oversized carry-on bag, then you now have good reason to worry. It turns out Ryanair and easyJet award bonuses of just over a quid to staff to spot bulging bags and dish out penalties. I fear this is just the start, and soon the likes of Ryanair's Michael O'Leary will make us declare our body weight on 'environmental grounds' and charge us by the kilo. Expect bonus-sniffing staff to eye you up, guess you're packing too much timber and force you onto scales, before saying: 'Sorry but Sir's been telling porkies about his porkiness. That will be another £50 please.' Fat-shaming will be the new bag-sizing. And being a fat-fascist is the best route to a bumper pay packet. *** Labour MP Dr Simon Opher is set to prescribe free tickets to football matches in a bid to beat depression. The former GP will trial it in Gloucestershire surgeries as an alternative to anti-depressants, saying: "Football is about socialising and roaring on your team, getting excited, taking yourself out of your own life for a short while.' It's also about, most weekends, at least 33% of fans walking home beaten, gutted, miserable, cursing the donkeys in their team and descending into a depression that dogs them for days. So nice idea, doc, but in practice sending already-depressed people to football matches could be a massive own goal. *** Over the decades screenwriter Jimmy McGovern has crafted many profound lines but this week he surpassed himself by condensing into one sentence the real reason why the Establishment is resisting the introduction of a full-blooded Hillsborough Law, which would compel public bodies to tell the truth in the aftermath of major disasters. 'What's going on there is people demanding the right to lie." That, in a nutshell, is the truth. And Labour must not let it happen. THE WEEK'S FIVE BIG QUESTIONS Isn't it funny how the men who abuse women footballers like Jess Carter on social media were also the ones always picked last on the playground and forced to stand, quaking, in goal? Can't the princes William and Harry do what feuding aristocrats used to do and walk into a forest with a pair of pistols and have a duel? Has any political party in any country ever been given as much air time with only four nationally-elected representatives as Reform UK? Do Andrex, with their advert claiming 76% of students hold their poo in at school, really think kids will all start opening their bowels if the toilet paper is soft? How long will it be before people can only draw their state pension on the same date they receive their 100th birthday telegram from the monarch?

Jeweller to showcase nature-inspired work at Glasgow market
Jane Harrison, who works from The Briggait Wasps studio in Glasgow, will exhibit her latest creations at the Tea Green Summer Design Market, taking place at The Burrell Collection in Glasgow on August 2 and 3. Now in its 11th year, Tea Green Events has grown into one of Scotland's leading events for independent designers and makers and will feature around 60 exhibitors. Read more: New mural takes shape on side of Southside Paesano Jane, a graduate of Glasgow School of Art, said: "My jewellery is born from a love of nature and a passion for collecting and curating natural objects, things I find on walks around Glasgow and further afield. "I'm constantly inspired by the shapes, textures and colours I see in parks like Pollok and Mugdock, or along the shores of Luss and Loch Lomond." Her early collections drew from her garden, often incorporating natural elements such as seed pods and twigs, some of which she casts directly into silver. Her latest pieces, which will debut at The Burrell, include earrings inspired by fledgling sparrows and tiny frogs from her garden pond. Jane has been a regular participant in Tea Green's Glasgow events since the very first market. She said: "Tea Green is the only market I attend regularly. "The standard is always high, and the locations are incredible, places I'd never otherwise have the opportunity to exhibit in. "I also love meeting buyers face-to-face, sharing the story behind my work, and often reconnecting after the event for bespoke commissions. "It's also a brilliant space for creatives to connect, collaborate, and support each other, especially as we navigate rising costs and other industry challenges." Founded in 2014 by Dundee-based jeweller Joanne MacFadyen, Tea Green Events began at the Glasgow School of Art's Student Union and has grown into a national platform for Scottish creatives. Joanne said: "Tea Green owes everything to Glasgow, having held our very first market at the Student Union of Glasgow School of Art. "Having grown up in East Kilbride, I also have personal memories of visiting both The Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove, first as a child and then later as an artist and creative. "Returning to these beautiful, iconic venues with Scotland's most talented designers is an absolute privilege." Read more: Glasgow artist pays tribute to music legends ahead of huge reunion gigs Lauren Rhodes, commercial development and programming manager at Glasgow Life, highlighted the value of the partnership. She said: "Tea Green is a fantastic example of what happens when cultural spaces and creative communities work together. "It has been a real privilege to develop this partnership with Tea Green at Glasgow Life, helping independent designers connect with museum visitors while delivering a high-quality public event. "Events like these support Scotland's independent creative economy and generate vital income for the museums service. "They also help our cultural spaces feel relevant, welcoming, and meaningfully connected to the wider arts and design community in Scotland." The Tea Green Summer Design Market at The Burrell Collection will run from 10am to 5pm on August 2 and from 11am to 5pm on August 3.
