LONDON (Reuters) - Tennis fans will descend on Wimbledon from Sunday to join the line of the year in which thousands wait patiently to see their sporting idols during the two week championship.

Thousands will camp out overnight or arrive at dawn each day to join the line, known as The Queue, which has become as much a tradition at the world's oldest tennis tournament that dates back to 1877 as strawberries and cream - and rain.
