LONDON (AP) – The latest from Wimbledon (all times local):

___

12:05 p.m.

Wimbledon began with a minute of silence on Friday as Britain paused to honor the victims of the attack in Tunisia, where an Islamic extremist opened fire on beachgoers at a resort.

British tourists made up 30 of the 38 victims of last Friday’s attack.

Visitors across the All England Club stopped in silence at noon, with the crowd on Henman Hill rising to their feet and ball boys lining up alongside the courts. The start of play on the outside courts was pushed back to 12:15 p.m. instead of the normal time of 11:30 a.m.

Play on Centre Court was set to start at 1 p.m. as usual.

Queen Elizabeth II and British Prime Minister David Cameron also observed a minute of silence at noon Friday.
