There were jubilant scenes in Andy Murray's hometown of Dunblane today as he won his second Wimbledon title.
The Scot defeated Canada's Milos Raonic in straight sets to win the tournament.
The final was shown in different venues across the Stirlingshire town and all erupted in celebration as Murray won the final tiebreak.
One of the biggest showings was at the Dunblane Centre where there was standing room only by the end of the match.
Around 60 people packed into a specially designated room at the centre to watch Murray make his bid for Wimbledon glory.
Scotland flags were draped over seats while some people wore tops adorned with Murray's name.
Posters with images of Murray playing were stuck up on pillars around the room while a large mosaic of him holding his first Wimbledon trophy hung on the wall.
There were chants of "come on, Andy" in the centre as Murray took the first point of the match.
And the room erupted in cheers when he won the first set of the final.
But that was no match for the jubilant scenes at the end as Murray claimed his third grand slam title.
Elizabeth Cameron, from Dunblane, watches Murray in every tournament and said the town will be overjoyed by his victory.
She said: "I'm here with my grandchildren. This win is a fantastic thing for them to see and I am so happy for Andy.
"You'll be able to go up the street tomorrow and and see everyone with a smile on their face.
"He's one of the best players in the world and I'm absolutely sure he will win even more grand slams."
Daniel Kelly, 25, from Glasgow, travelled to Dunblane to watch the match especially.
He said: "It's great to be here in his hometown with his fans. I would say it's probably the best place to see the match outside Wimbledon.
"He was brilliant in the match and never really looked like losing it, but full credit to Raonic. He was great as well."
Andy Murray wasn't the only Scottish player to win at Wimbledon on Sunday as Glasgow's Gordon Reid won the men's wheelchair singles title.
