This historic signed and dated picture was taken on board Queen Mary in the same year Perry won his third men’s singles title at Wimbledon. It was also the tennis legends’ first trip on the luxury liner 80 years ago.
Queen Mary 2 set sail on June 23 from Southampton to New York on her first transatlantic following a makeover investment in the region of £90m.
