@SusanTudge added: “Sobbing over Sue Barker tribute. She is an absolute legend!! She is a national treasure!! Give her a Damehood instantly please. Wimbledon won’t be the same without our Dame Sue.”

Barker was awarded a CBE earlier this year for services to sport, broadcasting and charity, which she claimed ‘meant the world’. Alongside her Wimbledon duties, she also spent 24 years as host of BBC’s popular Question of Sport quiz show and remains Honorary Life President of Muscular Dystrophy UK. 

Despite her popularity among fans and tennis stars, Barker opted against staying on until 2025 and explained her decision back in June.
