World and Olympic Champion track cyclist and jockey Victoria Pendleton CBE took some time out of her hectic schedule to have a ride on Wimbledon Common with an Invictus Games film crew.

She is the latest celebrity to pop into the area to take to the saddle, as actor Martin Clunes took a ride down memory lane in October, and actor Anthony Andrews is a regular visitor.

The games will see 500 wounded military personnel take part in 10 sporting events as they are cheered on by thousands of family members and friends.

Wimbledon Times:

Ms Pendleton borrowed Wimbledon Village Stables' horse Jack for the day.

Ms Andrews said: "It was great to meet her.

"She said she just loves the smell of horses, and she kept smelling Jack.

"It was a lot of fun."

Ms Pendleton had a go on the state-of-the-art horse simulator, below, before she rushed off for another meeting.
