Princess Kate told ‘don't be nervous' before Wimbledon standing ovation
The Princess of Wales receives some very valuable advice before she received a standing ovation at Wimbledon. Princess Kate met eight-year-old Lydia Lowe ahead of her appearance at the women's singles final on Saturday. Lydia, who overcame a brain injury last January and had to learn to walk again, told Kate 'don't be nervous' and 'take deep breaths'. The Princess responded: 'Take deep breaths, okay, I'll remember that. Thank you.' Lydia was at Wimbledon representing the Dan Maskell Trust and was responsible for the coin toss for the wheelchair final.

Dalbeattie Tennis Club competition for prestigious Dan Maskell Trophy
Competitors from all over the south of Scotland descended on Dalbeattie for this prestigious tournament with all proceeds going to the Dan Maskell Trust. Dalbeattie Tennis Club's most prestigious competition, the Dan Maskell Cup, was played for recently with competitors from all over the south of Scotland joining players from the home club. The competition is played between mixed doubles – and in the final, Johnny Short and Lisa Campbell from the Borders played Stevie White and Maureen Johnstone from Dalbeatte. Stevie and Mo had had a gruelling semi-final and that perhaps contributed to them losing to Johnny and Lisa. Congratulations to them on their fifth win at this event. All proceeds from the entry fees, catering and tombola went to the Dan Maskell Trust which supports disabled people getting involved with tennis and which was championed by the club's late president Keith Thom. The club would like to thank everybody who contributed.
