Though fans were delighted with Serena's victory - and quite frankly thrilled to see Bey and Jay in the Royal Box – there was only one thing they could talk (and sob) about by the time Serena's victory had sunk in.

To celebrate her win, BBC broadcast a montage of the 34-year-old's rise to Wimbledon glory, narrated by Williams reading Maya Angelou's Still I Rise.
