Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were in the Royal Box cheering on Murray alongside a host of celebrities including Benedict Cumberbatch, Lily James, Hugh Grant and Bradley Cooper.
Speaking after the match, Murray said the victory was 'extra special' because of the 'tough losses' he has endured at Wimbledon over the years. He said: 'I played really good stuff today I've had a great few weeks on grass. He [Raonic] had some unbelievable wins like in the semi. He is one of the hardest workers and is always trying to improve. He has an extremely nice team - very polite and well mannered. It's not always the case.'
Even the stoney-faced Ivan Lendl managed to crack a smile as Murray lifted the trophy.
Murray added: 'A big thank you to all of my team for the hard work they've put in to get me here and also my family. I love all of you. Thank you.
'I'm going to make sure i enjoy this more last time I was so relieved and I was so nervous and there was so much pressure I didn't get a chance to enjoy it as much, so with this one I'll make sure I will.
