As well as being one of the world’s foremost sporting events, the BBC's coverage of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships has one of the catchiest theme tunes Light And Tuneful.
I'd be grateful if you could give the video a 👍 and subscribe if you're new to the channel.
Since it was first broadcast over 40 years ago, Keith Mansfield’s music has become synonymous with the grass courts, sunshine and Sue Barker, whose face usually appears on our screens after the last trumpets have faded out.
It’s become a national institution in and of itself – hum it in company and you’re sure to have a fully stocked chorus line by the end
