France's Gael Monfils ended the hopes of British number two Kyle Edmund with a straight-set win on Centre Court.

Monfils, the 15th seed, won 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-4 to reach the third round - and leave Britain with four players in the last 32 of the singles.
Andy Murray, Johanna Konta, Aljaz Bedene and Heather Watson will all play third-round matches on Friday.
Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares beat Roman Jebavy and Jiri Vesely 7-6 (9-7) 6-2 6-4 in the doubles.
Monfils, 30, goes on to face compatriot Adrian Mannarino, who beat Japan's Yuichi Sugita in five sets.
With 15,000 spectators on Centre Court and the temperature approaching 40C, it was the more experienced Monfils who rose to the occasion.
"Kyle has won a round at Wimbledon and been out on Centre Court, but I think he can improve," said former British number one Tim Henman.
"He's 50 in the world but I think with the weapons he's got, he needs to be more comfortable coming forward, improve his defensive skills and mentally have more belief in himself."
Edmund's first-round win over Alex Ward was his first at Wimbledon, at the fifth time of asking, but the 22-year-old could not pull off a shock on the biggest stage of all.
The world number 50 ended the match with 14 unforced errors off his forehand, a huge shot that is the bedrock of his game.
Edmund, currently without a coach, had his chances against Monfils but could not capitalise on three break points in the ninth game, and then played a poor tie-break.
The fragile Monfils, who has a long history of injury problems, fell heavily as Edmund recovered a break midway through the second set but again the Briton failed to build momentum.
Monfils reeled off three straight games to take the second set, and recovered from 3-0 down in the third as Edmund's challenge faded away after two hours and 12 minutes.
"It was a great match to learn from," said Edmund.
"I got my game out on court, which is something I wanted to do, and just lack a bit of maturity at this stage.
"A few shots in certain points or match situations I just needed to be better on. I'm only 22 years old, I don't know all the answers. That's why it's a great thing to learn from."
Tim Henman, six-time Wimbledon semi-finalist
I just want more from Kyle, and that's because I think he's a very, very good player. I don't think he should be ranked 50, I think he should be knocking on the door of the top 30 and then the top 20.
But there are still areas he can add to his game. He's got such a big forehand, but if he can look to move forward and finish the point occasionally at the net it will give him an extra dimension and put a little bit more doubt into his opponent's mind.
Mentally, his character on the court, he needs to express himself a little bit better. That will help him with his overall belief because he is a very, very good player and I would like to see him back here at the championships next year definitely seeded, and definitely in the second week. For me, he's still scratching the surface.


Solar Impulse, the fuel-free aeroplane, is up in the air again on the fifth leg of its round-the-world flight.

The vehicle, with Bertrand Piccard at the controls, left Mandalay in Myanmar (Burma) just after 21:00 GMT on Sunday, and is heading for Chongqing in China.
The intention is to make a brief stop there, and then try to reach Nanjing on the east coast of the country.
This would set up Solar Impulse for the first of its big ocean crossings - a five-day, five-night flight to Hawaii.
Mission control will not make a decision on the Nanjing leg until late on Monday.
The decision may rest on the state of the energy reserves held in the plane's batteries.
China's air traffic authorities would like the team to start the sixth leg before dawn. But if the reserves are marginal then Solar Impulse will be held in Chongqing until the batteries can be charged.
The problem with this scenario is that poor weather is forecast in the Chongqing region in the coming days, and if Solar Impulse does not leave straightaway, it could be delayed for perhaps a week.
Solar Impulse took off from Mandalay International Airport in darkness at 03:36 local time, Monday (21:06 GMT Sunday). Leg five is long one - about 1,375km - and is expected to take roughly 19 hours.
It would see Solar Impulse landing around midnight local time at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport.
It is 20 days since the venture got under way from Abu Dhabi.
The Swiss-based project expects the circumnavigation of the globe to be completed in a total of 12 legs, with a return to the Emirate in a few months' time.
Bertrand Piccard is sharing the flying duties in the single-seater plane with his business partner, Andre Borschberg.
In the past month, Solar Impulse has set two world records for manned solar-powered flight.
The first was for the longest distance covered on a single journey - that of 1,468km between Muscat, Oman, and Ahmedabad, India.
The second was for a groundspeed of 117 knots (216km/h; 135mph), which was achieved during the leg into Mandalay, Myanmar, from Varanasi, India.
No solar-powered plane has ever flown around the world.
The Solar Impulse venture does however recall some other recent circumnavigation feats in aviation - albeit fuelled ones.
In 1986, the Voyager aircraft became the first to fly around the world without stopping or refuelling.
Piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, the propeller-driven vehicle took nine days to complete its journey.
Then, in 2005, this time was beaten by the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, which was solo-piloted by Steve Fossett.
A jet-powered plane, GlobalFlyer completed its non-stop circumnavigation in just under three days.
Solar Impulse has a wingspan of 72m - bigger than that of a 747 jumbo jet airliner - but only weighs 2.3 tonnes.
Its four propellers are dependent on the electricity from 17,000 solar cells that line the top of the wings.
During the night, the props' motors must call on the excess energy generated and stored during the day in lithium-ion batteries.

Music and theatre groups may have to scale back European tours after Brexit and fewer European acts could travel to the UK, arts organisations have warned.

The Creative Industries Federation has set out a series of concerns about the UK's departure from the European Union.
It said British artists may have to spend more time and money on items like visas for tours if freedom of movement rules are tightened.
The federation also raised fears about areas like funding and copyright.
Federation founder Sir John Sorrell said the creative industries were "a key driver of wealth and global success" for the UK.
He said: "To imperil that would be to imperil our wider economy.
"That is why we need to be at the heart of the new government's industrial strategy and negotiating priorities in coming months."
The federation has published a report sketching out the possible impact of the UK's departure from the EU, based on contributions from almost 500 of its members.
It pointed to Cardiff-based NoFit State Circus, which said it cost Â£46,000 more for 13 people to tour the US compared with the EU, because of costs including visas, carnets for touring equipment and medical insurance.
And the Manchester International Festival cautioned that restrictions on movement could put European artists off coming to the UK.
"The increased cost of entering the UK to work may discourage many international acts from performing at the festival, reducing its quality and potentially, therefore, both its revenue streams and resultant spend within the local economy," the federation reported.
The federation also said:
Federation chief executive John Kampfner said: "This is the fastest growing sector of the UK economy and includes all the things that Britain is famous for - from our music to our films, television and heritage.
"We want to work with government to safeguard the jobs, the revenues and the prestige the creative sector offers."
In response, Department for Exiting the EU Minister Robin Walker said the creative industries are "a vital and growing part of the UK economy and they play a powerful role in shaping the UK's image and reputation abroad".
He added: "We want to work with our creative industries to help seize the exciting opportunities that will flow from a new place for Britain in the world."

British Gas has contacted about 2,200 of its customers to warn them that their email addresses and account passwords were posted online.

It says, however, that it does not think its own systems were breached.
The affected accounts have been disabled following the discovery.
No bank account or payment card details would have been revealed, but the logins could have been used to view users' names, addresses and past energy bills.
An email sent to affected customers states: "I can assure you there has been no breach of our secure data storage systems, so none of your payment data, such as bank account or credit card details, have been at risk.
"As you'd expect, we encrypt and store this information securely.
"From our investigations, we are confident that the information which appeared online did not come from British Gas."
Read more: What rights do data loss victims have, and what obligations are companies under?
The BBC understands that British Gas - which is owned by Centrica - wrote to the account holders before checking if all of the published passwords worked, so it is possible that a smaller number of accounts were actually put at risk.
The details were posted to the document-sharing site Pastebin before being removed.
British Gas has about 14.7 million customer accounts, so the affected number represents a small fraction of its clients.
If the firm was indeed not at fault, it is possible that the perpetrators obtained the passwords from another data breach and then checked to see if some people had used the same details to log into British Gas's site.
Another possibility is that the users were targeted by a phishing campaign and had been fooled into revealing their details.
Affected users are being asked to make contact by phone or to securely reset their passwords via the company's website.
The alert follows Tuesday's Marks and Spencer's website glitch that allowed customers to see each other's details, and a hack attack on TalkTalk's website last week that the telecoms firm has acknowledged could have revealed users' bank details and personal information.


Officers investigating the suicide of Fife teenager Daniel Perry have visited the Philippines in an operation against an online blackmail syndicate.

Police in the island's capital, Manila, said they had arrested 58 people.
One of the group's victims was believed to be the apprentice mechanic from Dunfermline.
Police began investigating after the 17-year-old died after falling from the Forth Road Bridge last July.
It is feared many others have been targeted by the scam where they are befriended and tricked into making explicit webcam recordings and then blackmailed.
The information Police Scotland uncovered formed part of a major operation, centred on the Philippines which Interpol said it had now smashed.
It established a task force last year, involving police from the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Scotland.
Interpol said the group's activities included setting up online accounts with social networking sites, so they could locate and attract prospective victims, whilst posing as attractive Asian women.
After getting acquainted with the victim, they would entice them into online sexual activity before making blackmailing demands.
Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said: "Daniel's death last year led to a major criminal inquiry which ultimately led officers to the Philippines.
"The enforcement action over the past two days by the Philippines National Police has been supported by Police Scotland."
He said the police message was clear: "There is no hiding place - anywhere in the world".
"A young Scottish teenager lost his life as a result of this online activity," he added.
"The impact on his family, friends and wider community cannot be imagined.
"I hope that the efforts of law enforcement and our partners in Scotland and globally helps to provide some reassurance to Daniel's family and the wider public that we are determined to tackle this type of criminality."
Alan Purisima, Philippine National Police chief, said:  "After getting acquainted with the victims and successful exchange of online chat conversations, they invite and further entice their would-be victims to use video calls to engage in cybersex.
"And this will be recorded, unknown to the victim."
Det Ch Insp Gary Cunningham, of Police Scotland's specialist crime division, led the investigation into Daniel's death and travelled to Manila to work with the authorities in the Philippines.
"It's been our job to act as observers to identify any evidence that can take us that step forward to proving a case against the individuals responsible for the death of Daniel Perry," he said.
Interpol's director, Sanjay Virmani, added: "The scale of these extortion networks is massive and run with just one goal in mind - to make money regardless of the terrible emotional damage they inflict on their victims.
"The internet is a reflection of society - both good and bad - and just as in the real world, police are committed to catching criminals.
"This is equally true for the virtual world."
Daniel's mother, Nicola Perry, said the manner of his death had been "every parent's worse nightmare".
"After being targeted by complete strangers online, he was left so traumatised by his ordeal that he chose to take his own life," she said.
"Whoever was at the other end of that computer did not know Daniel.
"They didn't care that he was a loving and caring person with his whole life ahead of him.
"To them, he was just another faceless victim to exploit for cash."
She said the family had been left "devastated" and thanked police for their support.
"If we are to make sure that no other parent or family member loses a loved one in the way that we have lost Daniel then people must take care when talking to others online and not share intimate pictures or personal information that could be used against them," she said.
"Since Daniel's death we have been overwhelmed by the kind words and sympathies expressed by so many people across the country.
"We would now ask that our privacy be respected as we continue to grieve."


Adam Rooney gave third-top Aberdeen a Scottish Premiership victory over stuffy Hamilton Accies.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Accies survived some nervous moments before Ash Taylor headed the Dons ahead after 34 minutes.
But the lead only lasted four minutes as Dougie Imrie scored from the penalty spot after Danny Redmond was challenged by goalkeeper Joe Lewis.
Rooney pounced when Gary Woods parried a James Maddison shot, before Accies' Scott McMann was shown a late red card.
The win - thanks to the Irish striker's 11th goal this season - takes Aberdeen to within four points of second-placed Rangers in the Scottish Premiership table.
Accies remain second bottom without a victory in 10 games since beating the Dons in October.
Aberdeen were fluid and dangerous from the off, exposing Accies' weakness on the left flank, with Louis Longridge inexperienced in a full-back role against Jonny Hayes.
Mark Reynolds netted early on, but referee Andrew Dallas saw pushing and ruled it out, perhaps a touch harshly as the Dons defender didn't appear to be the culprit.
It seemed only a matter of time for the home side, with visiting defenders struggling to cope with the recurring threat.
One corner in particular caused chaos involving a Reynolds header that was saved, an overhead kick clearance and a follow up effort from Andrew Considine with the ball eventually forced behind.
Chances and corners flowed. Perhaps one criticism that could be levelled at Aberdeen was how they had not managed to score before they did.
The breakthrough came from a set piece. Hayes floated a great free-kick to Taylor, whose header was equally accurate and found the corner.
Incredibly, Hamilton were almost immediately handed a route back into the match.
Taylor blundered to let Redmond in on Lewis, who appeared to hesitate, allowing the midfielder to nick the ball.
The goalkeeper got a touch on the ball, but it was not clear whether he had taken the man first. No matter, the referee gave the penalty, which Imrie fired home confidently.
Aberdeen responded well to that set-back, with Woods superbly tipping Taylor's drive over before Rooney appeared to be pushed in the box, but pleas were ignored.
The Dons went forward relentlessly. Manager Derek McInnes made a positive move, bringing on Maddison for Considine and it proved decisive.
It was Maddison's shot that Woods palmed back into play perfectly for the onrushing Rooney to net.
McMann prevented a third, hauling Hayes to the ground just outside the box that earned a red card with the winger in on goal.
No-one could realistically argue Aberdeen did not deserve the win. What is unclear is how they did not make it far more comfortable
It was a fourth successive defeat for Hamilton, albeit in a very tough run of fixtures. What will be more alarming for manager Martin Canning is the lack of wins in the last two months.
At times, the visitors were hanging on by a thread, struggling to contain the attacking threat they faced.
They had a fabulous chance for a second shortly before Rooney's goal and that would have made a huge difference.
Shay Logan gave possession away, Rakish Bingham surged clear and found Ali Crawford, but the midfielder could not get enough on his shot to beat Lewis while the goalkeeper was grounded. He should have scored.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "We passed up so many opportunities. It was one-way traffic in the first half.
"By and large I felt we were on the wrong end of a few decisions today and I thought we still managed to thoroughly deserve three points.
"Reynolds scores a perfectly valid goal. There was no infringement by Rooney. He was nowhere near the goalkeeper. For me it was a poor decision. We should be up and running with that goal.
"We had a penalty kick given against us that's not a penalty. Twice now we've played Hamilton, two poor penalty decisions against us. Thankfully today it didn't cost us."
Hamilton manager Martin Canning: "I think the game turns on a big moment. When you get your opportunities you've got to take them.
"We got the big opportunity with Ali Crawford to make it 2-1. It would have been exactly what we set out to do.
"We missed the opportunity and within five minutes they've scored to make it 2-1 to them. Had we taken our big opportunity it would be a different game."

Former BBC DJ Chris Denning has been charged with historical child sex offences as part of a police investigation into a youth disco.

Denning - one of the original line-up of Radio 1 DJs in 1967 - has been charged with six sexual offences against four boys during the 1960s and 1970s.
He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 14 July.
Surrey Police said the charges relate to Operation Ravine.
A Surrey Police spokesman said: "The charges relate to the wider investigation into non-recent sexual offences connected to the Walton Hop Disco."
Former music industry figure Jonathan King, from Bayswater, West London, has been questioned as part of Operation Ravine and is on bail until October 13.
Surrey Police is also investigating an 86-year-old man from Walton-on-Thames as part of the inquiry.
The force said it has also been notified of the death of a man in his 70s who was due to answer bail in connection with the investigation.


US singer Chris Brown says he wants to go to Australia to use his influence as an entertainer to raise awareness about domestic violence.

He was commenting in a tweet to news at the weekend that he is unlikely to be given a visa to perform in Australia because of his domestic abuse record.
The singer is scheduled to go on tour in Australia in December, and tickets went on sale on Monday.
He was told on Sunday that he had 28 days to appeal against the decision.
"I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence," Mr Brown tweeted. "I'm not the pink elephant in the room anymore."
"My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don't define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse," he said.
In 2009, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend, the pop star Rihanna. He has toured Australia twice since, but the government is under pressure to refuse him this time.
Australia's immigration department has issued a "notice of intention to consider refusal," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.
The singer has 28 days to present a case as to why he should be granted a visa, after which a final decision will be made.
Minister for Women Michaelia Cash, who was until recently assistant immigration minister, had urged Mr Dutton to take a stand on the issue.
It follows the government's decision earlier this year to refuse a visa for world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather on similar grounds.
Mayweather had been booked for dinner and nightclub appearances in Sydney and Melbourne in January.
New Zealand has already ruled that Brown is unsuitable for entry into the country.

Ireland's Katie Taylor won her second fight since turning professional as she claimed a points victory over Brazil's Viviane Obenauf in Manchester.

Super-featherweight Taylor, an Olympic Games gold medallist in 2012, won by a 60-53 margin after a fine performance.
Obenauf was knocked down in the second round and was outclassed throughout.
The Brazilian suffered a bad cut, near her left eye, after a clash of heads in the fifth round, but went the distance as Taylor comfortably got the verdict.
In a contest which consisted of six two-minute rounds, 30-year-old Taylor began strongly with a succession of body shots and a left-hook counter that rocked Obenauf's head back.
Obenauf, who had won nine of her previous 10 professional bouts, received a count in the second as she attacked Taylor but fell after being caught on the top of the head.
Taylor was in control with superior footwork, speed and variety of punches, although her opponent battled to the final bell, despite suffering that bad cut in the fifth round.
Taylor turned professional after losing in the quarter-finals in the 2016 Rio Olympics and claimed a third-round stoppage win over Poland's Karina Kopinska in her debut last month.


Egypt reached a record-equalling ninth Africa Cup of Nations final, beating Burkina Faso 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Veteran goalkeeper Essam El Hadary proved Egypt's hero, saving Bertrand Traore's spot-kick to secure victory.
In normal time Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for Egypt when he curled a superb shot into the top left corner.
Burkina Faso levelled when Aristide Bance chested down Charles Kabore's cross and volleyed in.
In doing so, they became the first side to score against Egypt this tournament.
The Burkinabe, who were the more adventurous and ambitious side throughout normal play, took an immediate advantage in the shootout.
Goalkeeper Herve Koffi, only 20 years old, magnificently pushed Abdallah El Said's spot-kick on to the post.
But he soon experienced the other side of shootouts when he stepped up to take his side's fourth penalty and was unable to beat El Hadary - who at 24 years his senior is the oldest Nations Cup player in history.
El Hadary's experience - he now has a chance to win his fifth African title - proved vital as he then saved Bertrand Traore's effort to send Burkina Faso home.
It was a dramatic end to a game that was cagey, thanks to Egypt's predominantly defensive approach, which had served them well and meant they had not conceded a goal going into the match.
Two moments of excellent football provided the breakthroughs for the teams - Salah's curling opener was sublime as was the chest control and volley from Bance that restored parity.
Otherwise the football was not quite of the highest standard, with Koffi largely a bystander.
While El Hadary was called on more often, he was relatively comfortable in keeping out shots from Prejuce Nakoulma and Banou Diawara.
Egypt's victory continues their remarkable success rate in Nations Cup semi-finals - they have now won their past six.
In clinching victory in Libreville they equal Ghana's record of appearing in nine finals.
And if on Sunday they beat the winner of Thursday's semi-final between Cameroon and Ghana, Egypt will extend their own record as the most successful Nations Cup side with an eighth title.

A prominent Scottish independence campaign group has begun a fundraising drive, saying it expects a second referendum to be called within weeks.

Business for Scotland said it was getting "back in full campaign mode" for a vote in 2018.
It said it expected  a vote to be called for May or September next year.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has previously said a second referendum was "highly likely" following the Brexit vote.
Business for Scotland focused on the economic case for independence ahead of the 2014 vote in which Scots voted 55% to 45% to remain part of the UK.
Group founder Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp has emailed members to say "we are only weeks away" from a second referendum being called.
In his message to supporters, Mr MacIntyre-Kemp said: "Business for Scotland was a vital contributor to the growth of the Yes vote in 2014. We need your help to renew the business and economic case for independence and drive Yes support to the levels required to call and win Indyref2.
"We didn't go away, instead we have kept on campaigning for independence and we also campaigned for a Remain vote in the EU referendum.
"We are getting ready for Indyref2 in May or September 2018 and so we are back in full campaign mode."
The group aims to raise Â£15,000 and said it had already raised nearly a third of the target.
Prime Minister Theresa May said earlier in February that the question of Scottish independence was "settled" by the 2014 referendum.
The SNP, however,  argues that since a majority in Scotland voted to Remain, this represents a material change in circumstances that could justify a second vote.
The party has put forward proposals to secure Scotland's access to the European single market but Nicola Sturgeon has warned time is running out to find agreement.
Former SNP leader Alex Salmond has suggested an announcement from Ms Sturgeon is very close, and he has predicted a referendum in autumn 2018.
Others within the pro-independence camp have, however, signalled a more cautious approach.
A recent opinion piece by Robin McAlpine, director of pro-independence think tank Common Weal, asked whether the debate on indyref2 was "a bit too Culloden", referring to the crushing defeat of Jacobite rebels by a government army in 1745.
Mr McAlpine, who favours a 2019 vote, wrote: "If you were to make a calm assessment of the moment when we are at our strongest and our opponents are at their weakest, would you pick 2018?"


Housing projects helping more than 400,000 vulnerable adults face closure because of government welfare cuts, analysis on behalf of Labour suggests.

The Treasury's decision to cap housing benefit at the level available for private rents makes many schemes unviable, according to the research carried out by housing providers.
The housing cap is part of a Â£12bn package of cuts from the welfare bill.
The government refuted the figures and called the claims "spurious".
The Labour Party, which commissioned the research, said under the proposed cuts an annual shortfall of Â£400m would put the frail and elderly at risk of losing their homes.
In the chancellor's Autumn Statement he said the rate of housing benefit in the social sector would be capped at the same rate as is paid to those in the private-rented sector - which he said would deliver savings of Â£225m by 2020-21.
But some providers of supported housing say they rely on higher levels of housing benefit to cover the additional costs of care and support needed to cater for vulnerable adults.
The analysis - carried out by the Placeshapers group of housing associations - warned that the cut represented "a major threat to the financial viability of such schemes".
"Placeshapers is calling for all supported housing schemes to be exempt from the government's changes to social housing rent levels," it added.
The research suggested specific schemes such as one in Middlesbrough which helps vulnerable women, and another one in Norfolk for children with learning difficulties, would be in the firing line if the cap came into force.
Labour's shadow housing minister John Healey said the housing benefit cap would be a "catastrophe for those who can least afford it".
"There is no way these people or the organisations who support them can make up the yawning shortfall these cuts will open up," he added.
"If nothing is done, vital supported housing across the country will close, and the people who rely on them will be forced out."
A government spokesman said: "We do not recognise the figures and we have increased funding to councils by 40% since the last Parliament to help people who may need extra support whilst they transition to our reforms.
"From the outset we have been clear that vulnerable people will be supported through our welfare reforms.
"We are currently working on the detailed design of this policy and it is irresponsible to make these spurious claims over support for vulnerable people."


David Gilbert said he had luck on his side after recovering from a "useless" start to win a high-quality third-round UK Championship match with Ali Carter at the York Barbican.

The world number 21 trailed 3-0 to the two-time World Championship runner-up.
But Gilbert got on the board with a half century and two tons, and another 50 helped him build a 5-3 lead before he held his nerve in the decider.
"It was looking like it would be an early bath," Gilbert, 35, said.
"But I got a bit lucky going in at 3-1 down and then I actually started playing really well.
"I started off and was useless. Maybe I was too chilled. But it ended up a good game in the second half of the match.
"Ali missed a few in the last frame early on and I kept getting away with it. He made another mistake and I cleared to the black for probably the best clearance I have ever made."
Derby's Gilbert, who is already guaranteed £15,000 for his best run at the UK Championship, faces either Ding Junhui or Jamie Jones in the last 16.
"I was a bit lucky, but I will take it. It's a big win for me. It went well in the end. Happy days."

Holiday "snaps" of a dig in Suffolk described as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the UK are being displayed for the first time.

The amateur photographs are among the few records of excavations at Sutton Hoo in 1939, the National Trust said.
School mistresses Mercie Lack and Barbara Wagstaff took pictures as archaeologists studied the construction of an Anglo-Saxon burial ship.
Their photographs are now on show at the Sutton Hoo visitor centre.
It said it believes Ms Lack and Ms Wagstaff were tipped off by an archaeologist and arrived on site shortly after a helmet, gold jewellery and other treasured possessions had been removed.
The impending outbreak of war meant the keen amateur photographers captured a phase of the excavation that received little public attention.
During their time at the site, archaeologists were looking into the ship, now thought to be used to bury Anglo Saxon King Raedwald, who was laid to rest with the artefacts already found.
The National Trust said the photographs showed archaeologist Basil Brown, who made the discovery, and visitors including Princess Marie Louise, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
The collection also includes some of the earliest colour images from an archaeological site, which have allowed experts to gain further insight into the painstaking nature of the excavation, the National Trust added.
Until now, the majority of the prints have been kept in storage to conserve the collection and only a handful has previously been seen before, published in books.
Angus Wainwright, the National Trust's regional archaeologist, said: "These photographs are important not only for the light they shed on the excavations, but as a historic collection in its own right. The fact that there were only a few British women photographers around at that time makes the collection even more special.
"We hope that this exhibition will help us unearth more about the ladies behind the camera, as well as trace the individual who kindly donated this amazing collection to Sutton Hoo."


Nationwide building society has reported a 54% rise in annual pre-tax profit to £1.04bn as it regained its position as the UK's second largest mortgage lender.

The building society reported £677m a year earlier.
Nationwide also announced its chief executive, Graham Beale, would retire next year after nine years at the helm.
It added it expected growth to moderate in the years ahead as the pace of house price growth eased.
Nationwide said the search for Mr Beale's successor would now begin.
He served on the board of the building society for 13 years, becoming chief executive of Nationwide shortly before the financial crisis in 2007.
Net interest income - the income Nationwide receives from savings deposits and its own investments - rose £458m to £2.8bn, as a result of what the building society called "lower retail funding costs and the growth in retail assets".
Nationwide said saving deposits grew by £1.9bn, despite what it called the "low interest rate environment".
It blamed lower interest rates on its savings account on the general drift downwards across the wider market.
The building society said it took its responsibility to its savers "very seriously", but added it was "not immune from trading conditions in the savings and mortgage markets and the impact on prevailing rates".
Net mortgage lending - new mortgages advanced minus those repaid in full - amounted to £7.1bn in the year to 4 April, down from £9.9bn a year earlier, giving Nationwide a 31.2% share of the UK mortgage market.
Mr Beale said: "Nationwide is in great shape and is demonstrating how a mutual building society can make a real and refreshing difference in the financial services sector.
"Succession of leadership is best dealt with from a position of strength and hence the time has come for the society to identify and appoint its next chief executive.  In the meantime, there is lots to do and there are exciting opportunities ahead, so it is very much business as usual."


Claudio Ranieri dismissed suggestions Leicester are title favourites after they beat Manchester City on Saturday.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Foxes' 3-1 win at Etihad Stadium leaves them five points clear of Tottenham, who leapfrogged Manchester City into second place.
Leicester's win prompted bookmakers to cut their title odds, with many making them favourites.
"I don't believe them," said boss Ranieri. "They said I was first to be sacked! But I hope they are right."
The Italian was referring to the reaction to his appointment as Leicester boss in the summer, with bookmakers and pundits giving him little chance of succeeding in his role at the King Power Stadium.
Ranieri, 64, repeatedly played down talk of Leicester finishing the season as champions in his post-match media interviews at Etihad Stadium, saying he did not wish to talk about the title "until the end of April".
"I don't want to think about if we win," he added. "My mind goes over seven days and the next game against Arsenal, a tough match with fantastic players.
"But we are alive and we want to fight. We know it's a crazy league and we have to try. But there are some big teams who have to win.
"We enjoy it and the fans must continue to dream."
All of the other teams in the top five resume their European campaigns this month, with Manchester City and Arsenal in Champions League contention and Tottenham and Manchester United in Europa League action.
All four are also still involved in the FA Cup, while Manchester City are in the League Cup final against Liverpool on 28 February.
And Ranieri conceded the lack of fixture congestion could give his side an advantage.
"We have to think about only the Premier League and how we can fight in it," he said. "Those who play in the other competitions spend a lot of energy and travel a lot and that's not easy. That's a little advantage but we have to concentrate."
Leicester were bottom of the table at the same stage of the season 12 months ago.
They had lost four games in a row, were four points behind 19th-placed Burnley and five points from safety.
Ranieri stressed during the first half of this campaign that his team's target was to reach 40 points and safety, and he said the fact they have achieved their pre-season goal means they have nothing to lose.
"I hope my players didn't feel pressure because our pressure was to save the team from relegation," he added. "We did that and now we have to enjoy and do our best, step by step."
Winger Riyad Mahrez - scorer of Leicester's second goal at Etihad Stadium - conceded the victory came as a shock to the Premier League leaders.
"We didn't expect to win here 3-1," said the Algerian, 24. "We're just going to keep dreaming. We're going to fight for the title and see what we can do."


Cricket Australia wants the 2017-18 Ashes against England to feature day-night Tests for the first time.

Officials feel the move is a "natural progression" following a day-night Test against New Zealand in November 2015.
"By playing day-night Tests, we're going to get even bigger audiences at the game and on television," said Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland.
England captain Alastair Cook and Australia captain Steven Smith have both said the change is not necessary.
Cook said the Ashes is "not a series where you need to do it exactly at this time", while Smith said the fixture "always gets the viewers and crowds out".
Sutherland said he had "respect" for such views, but added: "We will play somewhere between zero and two day-night tests during the Ashes in 18 months' time."
The next Ashes series is scheduled to run from November 2017 until January 2018, with England the holders of the urn following their 3-2 series win in 2015.
Before then, Australia will play a floodlit Test against South Africa on at the Adelaide Oval this summer and open a series on home soil against Pakistan under the lights in December.
England and Australia go into the 2017 Ashes tied on 32 series wins.
Alastair Cook's side, who currently lead Sri Lanka 2-0 in a three-Test series, will tour India later this year, playing five Tests from November 2016 before a Christmas break.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has chosen Mohali, Rajkot, Mumbai, Vizag and Chennai to host the Tests.
A series of three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s are expected after the festive period.
The ODIs will be in Pune, Cuttack and Kolkata, while Bengaluru, Nagpur and Kanpur will host the T20s.


A 54-year-old prisoner has gone on the run from an open prison.

Frederick Boyd was on leave at his home in Glasgow when he failed to return to Castle Huntly jail in Dundee on Tuesday.
The public have been warned not to approach Boyd and contact police if they see him.
Police said he was thought to have connections in the Clydebank, Knightswood and the Drumchapel areas of Glasgow.
He is described as being of medium build, clean shaven with short brown hair.


Rapper Sean 'P Diddy' Combs will not face assault charges following an incident last month involving a kettlebell weight, officials have said.

The 45-year-old was arrested on 22 June on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon at the University of California.
He was held in jail before being released on $160,000 (Â£102,500) bail.
The district attorney has referred the case to the Los Angeles City attorney's office to decide if Combs will face lesser charges.
"We are thankful that the district attorney rejected felony charges in this matter," said Combs's lawyer, Mark Geragos.
"This case never should have been part of the criminal justice system to begin with."
At the time of the incident, officials did not identify the victim of the alleged assault or say what led to the incident.
However, media reports said Combs was involved in an altercation with the university's football coach at the campus's athletic facility.
Combs claimed he was defending himself and his son, Justin Combs, who is on the college football team and had been working out at the time.
Head football coach Jim Mora called the encounter "an unfortunate incident for all parties involved" following Combs's arrest.
University officials have said little about the confrontation, except that no one was seriously hurt.
A spokesman said the school had no comment on the district attorney's decision.
Justin Combs, 21, has played just a handful of games for the UCLA football team since joining three years ago.


Portsmouth FC and Pompey Supporters' Trust (PST) board member Ashley Brown has urged fans to make an informed choice over a proposed takeover.

American billionaire Michael Eisner will address fans on Thursday with details of his £5.67m offer for 100% of the promoted League Two club.
Shareholders and PST members will vote on the former Walt Disney chief executive's proposals later this month.
"I don't think that we should think this is our only chance," Brown said.
Eisner, 75, has presented the terms of his offer before a town hall-style meeting at Portsmouth's Guildhall on Thursday.
Among his proposals are a further £10m equity investment, as well as the removal of three PST members from the club's nine-strong board.
The PST own 48% of the club after helping bring it out of administration in 2013.
Rather than instructing shareholders to vote in favour of Eisner's deal, the PST and club presidents have told fans to make up their own minds.
"What people need to do is see if it's the right option and the right person," Brown told BBC Radio Solent.
"That's the difficulty for people as you're dealing with somebody you don't know.
"Thursday is a chance for some people to look him in the eye in a public forum and ask him some questions and we'll see what he has got to say then.
"It's a huge decision about the future of the club, one that will define the path in goes on in the next few years. The beauty is that it's the fans that are making it."


Burton Albion have recalled midfielder Matt Palmer from his loan spell at fellow League One club Oldham Athletic.

The 22-year-old product of the Burton academy originally moved to Oldham on a youth loan in January and made 14 appearances.
Palmer managed one goal for the Latics before being recalled by Brewers boss Nigel Clough.
He will be eligible to go straight into the Burton squad for Saturday's home game against Barnsley.


Dozens of "sneakerheads" have set up camp outside a shop selling a new limited edition of Kanye West trainers.

The Adidas Yeezy Boost trainers will go on sale on Saturday but some devoted fans have already been queuing in Nottingham for several days.
"This is the only shop in the UK that is doing a camp," said hopeful buyer, 19-year-old Humzah Najib.
The trainers are priced at £150 in the shops but can reach three times that amount in online auctions.
Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire
"As you get close to release time you get a real buzz around and people get real excited," Mr Najib added.
A spokesman for the shop, 18Montrose, said the demand was caused by "the power of the brand".
Those camping out have come armed with sleeping bags, warm clothes and fold-up chairs.
Sneaker power, Kyle Hough, self-confessed sneakerhead
"Kanye is a giant of popular culture - and he is married to Kim Kardashian - so the hype around his brand is huge.
"But even though people say they they love them, they usually buy them to resell them for a profit.
"The trainers cost £150 but can be resold on the day for up to £500.
"Some of his earlier releases are now worth thousands of pounds.
"And this is a rarity to have an in-store release in a small city - you would expect most of them to be sold online or by lottery."
One man in the queue, Rohan, said: "You also need style if you are an 18-year-old boy - you look at people nowadays and everything is about what you look like."
Another added: "I think there are only about 19,000 pairs released worldwide so obviously everybody is going to try to come and pick up their first pair."


In a world where all too many conflicts are in search of solution there is a palpable sense history could be made here.

If a framework for an Iranian nuclear deal is agreed this week in this serene Swiss setting of Lausanne, it could pave the way for one of the most significant, but most sensitive, accords in decades.
"Since World War Two, there has been no precedent for multilateral diplomacy resolving a complex conundrum in a non-zero sum fashion without a bullet fired," says Ali Vaez, an Iran analyst with the International Crisis Group.
But because the history of relations between Iran and the West is still so incendiary there is still no certainty that, even with a framework, a final accord would be drafted by the end of June.
A highly technical document to end a 12-year stand-off over Iran's nuclear programme is also profoundly political.
It is a breakthrough that could ease, but not erase, the hostility and mistrust that have darkened relations between Tehran and Washington since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the American hostage crisis that followed.
A political dividend "will be what the players make of it," adds Mr Vaez. "The history of Iran's relations with the West is replete with missed opportunities."
US Secretary of State John Kerry is said to be acutely aware of the importance of turning at least one page on one of America's most poisoned relationships.
"He really hopes he can go to Iran someday," remarks one American observer at these talks.
Five other major powers negotiating this landmark deal also hope an accord will help remove obstacles in their own dealings with Iran.
But negotiators are also mindful of a history of accusations that Iran previously hid key elements of its nuclear programme.
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, one of the most vociferous sceptics, recently addressed the US Congress. he invoked the history of World War One, and actions of wartime leaders which tragically paved the way to the Holocaust.
EU foreign policy chief Federico Mogherini, whose predecessor Catherine Ashton was earlier credited with moving talks forward, said a deal has to "guarantee that Iran has no nuclear weapons and cannot develop nuclear weapons, but can still develop a civil nuclear programme".
Some Iranians reach back to another history and look to turn its page in the gilded halls of Lausanne's Beau-Rivage Palace hotel.
"From 1813 on, Iran's interaction with world powers has largely been one of continuous defeats," says Trita Parsi, founder and president of the Washington-based National Iranian American Council.
"This could be the first time in 200 years that, without a war, Iran would emerge from a conflict without losing."
Mr Parsi argues that Iran's hardliners who remain deeply suspicious of the West, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, could find ways to hail it as their success.
On social media there is already an excited buzz among Iranians - even calls for a Nobel Peace Prize for Mr Kerry and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif if they clinch the deal.
For many Iranians, what matters just as much are their very own personal histories of families divided and dispersed across a vast global diaspora.
"My friends and family are calling me saying: 'Tell Mr Zarif, just do it,'" exclaims one Iranian journalist covering the Lausanne talks.
Like many Iranians, she expresses hope a nuclear deal will lift punishing sanctions and also help bring a greater openness to reassure many Iranians it is safe to go home.
But there is caution, too, over whether Iran's moment has come.
"Every time I come to cover the talks, I'm told it's important to be here because history will be made," remarks Mohammad Eslami, editor and columnist at Iran's Khorasan newspaper. "Maybe this time will be different."
Even the pattern of these negotiations underlines how much has been slowly but steadily changing.
In nuclear talks in 2013 in the Kazakh city of Almaty, US diplomats were at pains to emphasise there were no one-on-one meetings with Iranians.
The election of centrist President Hassan Rouhani later that year helped change the personal chemistry and political choreography of this protracted process.
Now, Mr Kerry and Mr Zarif have established a personal rapport, even though it is underlined that discussions focus on nuclear issues, not other major crises engulfing the Middle East.
Some hope a deal would open a channel for greater co-operation with Iran at a time when tensions between the country and powerful Gulf Arab states are sharpening over crises everywhere from Iraq to Syria and Yemen. Others worry Iran's new international standing would embolden it.
"Iran and the West will not become best friends," points out Reza Marashi, research director at the National Iranian American Council. "But they will move from enemies to rivals, with the possibility of resolving issues through diplomats."
At this 11th hour, before what is a self-imposed deadline of late March, there are still gaps to close on major issues, including when to lift which sanctions, and what nuclear research and development Iran can pursue.
And then there is the choreography of any major announcement.
The Americans need a document with enough detail to help stem opposition in Congress which convenes on 14 April with Iran on the agenda.
The Iranians argue too much detail will provide ammunition to their critics at home who could try to scupper the drafting of the final deal.
And they have also signalled they want any announcement this week made in Geneva, a UN headquarters, and not in Lausanne, which already has its place in history with the 1923 treaty which ended the Ottoman Empire. And the US Congress refused to ratify it.
Such is the power of history that, more than a century on, it still resonates.


Minnesota's university football team have reversed a pledge to boycott games over the suspension of 10 players over an alleged sexual assault.

The team had threatened not to play until the school authorities gave "satisfactory answers".
The university earlier suspended the 10 players without providing any reasons, following an internal inquiry.
Police have declined to arrest or charge any of them over claims a woman was assaulted in September.
The football team made the U-turn on Saturday after they were assured that their suspended team-mates would receive a fair hearing.
The announcement followed a meeting between team members and university President Eric Kaler.
"As a team we understand that what has occurred these last few days... is larger than just us,'' said University of Minnesota receiver Drew Wolitarsky.
The Minnesota team will now play Washington State in the Holiday Bowl on 27 December.
Mr Kaler said he was pleased the students had shown their support for the victims of sexual violence by ending their boycott.
The suspensions stem from an incident on 2 September. A woman told police she was assaulted by several men while drunk at an off-campus apartment.
Some of the players have admitted having sex with the woman, but said that it was consensual.


A man described by police as "violent" has been found after going missing from a north London hospital.

Asad Taibzadah, 32, left St Ann's Hospital in Haringey on unescorted leave on Friday morning but did not return in the evening.
He has since been found and returned to hospital.
Mr Taibzadah was detained under the Mental Health Act. Members of the public had been warned not to approach him, but to call 999.


Nottingham Forest legend Des Walker has joined fierce rivals Derby County as an academy coach.

The 50-year-old, who played 408 matches for Forest during two spells totalling nearly 12 years, has taken up a role with the Rams as a defensive coach.
His son Tyler, a 19-year-old striker, also now plays for Forest, while 17-year-old son Lewis represents the Rams.
Academy director Darren Wassall, who played with Walker at Forest, said the ex-England man had "plenty to offer".
Walker won 59 caps during his career and played for England at the 1990 World Cup, when they reached the semi-finals, and Euro 92.
Former Derby defender Craig Short has also joined the academy coaching set-up.


Two riders have been injured in separate crashes during the amateur RideLondon-Surrey 100 cycle event.

A man came off his bike and hit a tree just after 09:00 BST in Woking and was taken to hospital by air ambulance.
Another rider was injured in Thames Ditton just before 11:00 and treated at the scene for head injuries.
Belgian Tom Boonen later won the men's professional Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic race, which finished in The Mall, London just before 18:25.
The ride which began from Horse Guards' Road in James's Park went through Leatherhead, Oxshott and Esher in Surrey before heading back to the capital.
Up to 150 professional cyclists, including Tour de France winner Chris Froome, took part in the race.
Following the first crash, an air ambulance was sent to the scene, and a "contingency route" between West Byfleet and Ripley was opened so the event could continue, RideLondon tweeted.
The cycle ride was disrupted for 45 minutes between Pyrford and Ripley in Surrey.
Before the diversion was lifted, some riders reported being held stationary for 45 minutes, BBC Surrey's Peter Stewart said.
The injured cyclist was taken to St George's Hospital, Tooting, where is condition is described as serious.
The second cyclist was injured when he came off his bike in Thames Ditton just before 11:00, the South East Coast Ambulance Service said.
He was treated for a head injury by the air ambulance paramedics.
Emergency road closures around Old Woking were later lifted, Surrey Travel tweeted.
The 200km (125-mile) Classic was paused due to congestion in Dorking High Street caused by riders in the 100 event having been delayed after the earlier crash, RideLondon said.
The organisers also said that because of the "backlog" of riders in the RideLondon-Surrey 100 race they had put out a diversion that cut out Box Hill in Surrey.
Box Hill has become a popular attraction for cyclists, particularly after it featured prominently in the London 2012 Olympic cycling road race.
RideLondon tweeted: "Following the incident near West Byfleet when a rider required an air ambulance, a backlog of riders built up on the route.
"In order to ensure all riders [of the 100 race] get to the finish line within the required 8.5 hours, a planned diversion route has been opened at Mile 44 to divert those riders through to Mile 70 (taking out Box Hill and rejoining the route before Leatherhead)."
The national cycling team from Rwanda is taking part in the race for the first time.
The BBC has apologised after losing some pictures during transmission as the lead riders completed the final minutes of the course.
"We are very sorry if some technical issues affected people's enjoyment of the race and we are looking into what happened," a spokesman said.


The PSNI has won its appeal against a ruling that police wrongly facilitated loyalist flag protests.

Judges ruled that a decision to first manage major disruption then later bring charges against offenders was well within the police's discretion.
They also found proportionate steps had been taken to protect the human rights of nationalist residents potentially exposed to the weekly demonstrations.
In April, a High Court judge said police had not understood their powers.
The verdict was related to weekly processions from east Belfast into the city centre during December 2012 and January 2013.
Demonstrations were staged in response to the decision to restrict the flying of the union flag at Belfast City Hall to designated days only. It had previously been flown all year round.
A man, identified only as DB, who lives in the nationalist Short Strand area, went to court claiming his home had been attacked by protesters and that the PSNI had failed to provide assurances that it would prevent any future parade past the area.
He also claimed his human rights to privacy and family life under European law had been breached.
In a previous ruling, the High Court judge ruled that the commander in charge of the operation around the protests wrongly believed he was hampered by law from stopping the parades and arresting participants.
Lawyers for the PSNI appealed against the findings, claiming they were flawed and unfair.
They argued that senior officers were fully aware they had the power to stop any illegal protests, with plans in place to block the earliest marches.
Those intentions only changed after intelligence revealed loyalist paramilitary involvement in associated violence that could pose a risk to life.
The police attitude was public safety first, criminal justice consequences later, the court heard.
Judges were also told of the level of resources deployed to deal with troublemakers and the decision to bring charges against passive demonstrators.
Ruling on the appeal on Tuesday, Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan, who heard the case with Lord Justice Girvan and Mr Justice Weir, said: "The issues facing those policing this major public disruption which extended far beyond Belfast to all parts of Northern Ireland demonstrated the enormous difficulties for those policing modern societies in circumstances of community conflict and heightened tension.
"We consider that the decision to manage disruption and pursue a subsequent criminal justice charging policy was well within the area of discretionary policing judgment which such situations require in light of the challenges posed by the circumstances."
Sir Declan said management of unnotified processions was not dealt with by the Parades Commission, but by police using public order powers.
He said the panel of judges did not believe there was "anything in the management of the issues arising from these parades by police" to suggest the Public Processions (NI) Act 1998 and the Police (NI) Act 2000 had been undermined.
Allowing the appeal, he added: "This was a difficult situation in which proportionate steps were taken to protect the Article 8 rights of the applicant and the other residents of the Short Strand."
Following the verdict, lawyers for DB indicated they would take their case to the Supreme Court in London.


A former St Louis Cardinals scouting director has been jailed for 46 months for hacking into a rival team's computer system.

Chris Correa, who illegally accessed Houston Astros' scouting reports and email system, must also pay $279,000 (£212,000) restitution.
The 35-year-old was sacked by the Cardinals last year after his arrest.
Correa pleaded guilty in January to five charges of unauthorised access of a protected computer.
The data breach was first reported in June 2014 when Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, who used to work for the Cardinals, raised the issue.
Correa, reading a letter in court before he was sentenced, said he was "overwhelmed with remorse and regret for my actions".
"I violated my values and it was wrong," he said.
"I behaved shamefully. The whole episode represents the worst thing I've done in my life by far."
Correa admitted that from March 2013 until at least March 2014 he hacked into the Astros scouting database and staff email accounts to access confidential information.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Justice Department officials said the Astros lost about $1.7m (£1.29m) because of the hacking.
Major League Baseball (MLB) will wait to receive the case details from federal authorities before deciding on any action against the Cardinals.


Emergency services have "stabilised" a tanker which overturned during a delivery in South Lanarkshire, spilling some of its 35,000 litres of gas oil.

The tanker came to rest on its side in a field, on the B743 near Strathaven, just before 0630 BST.
The driver was treated for shock and minor injuries and the road is expected to remain closed for some time.
A 200m-radius hazard zone was put in place and two homes were evacuated while the tanker was made safe.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue said about 150 litres of gas oil had escaped from six relief valves on top of the tanker.
It has sought advice from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency about possible contamination.
The fire service said the vehicle had now been "stabilised" and gas oil was "being decanted by the relief fuel and decanting vehicle now on site".
Officers will remain on scene until the vehicle is righted and taken away.
The accident has caused long tailbacks in both directions on the A71 through Strathaven.
Local diversions have been set up but there are also delays in the area due to roadworks.


A watchdog has called for commuters to receive "significant" compensation after a series of delays and cancellations at a new rail franchise.

From 12 October to 8 November, 24% of Thameslink services were delayed and 18% of Great Northern trains arrived late, according to figures from Govia Thameslink Railway.
London TravelWatch said a "significant gesture" was needed to regain trust.
The Govia Thameslink Railway franchise apologised for the network's service.
London TravelWatch said it was extremely concerned about the lack of train drivers across the franchise.
Stephen Locke, chair of the watchdog, said: "A significant gesture is necessary now if they are to have any chance of recovering the trust and confidence of increasingly cynical commuters who, being effectively a captive market, have no choice but to put up with the situation."
He added lessons needed to be learned from the "frustrating start" to the new franchise.
Govia, which is 65%-owned by Go-Ahead and 35%-owned by French firm Keolis, took over the franchise in September.
From 9 November until 6 December, 4% of Thameslink services were cancelled and 21.3% were delayed, while 2.9% of Great Northern services were cancelled and 16% were delayed, according to figures from Govia.
In a statement, Govia said: "We apologise for the recent service on our network and in particular on Thameslink.
"As well as issues such as train failures which we are determined to address, there have been many problems with infrastructure, such as signal failures."
The company also blamed a shortage of drivers for the cancellations and said they were recruiting more drivers.
Govia said passengers who had been delayed at least 12 times in a four-week period would be entitled to claim enhanced compensation.

Celine Dion is returning to the stage in Las Vegas, a year after she put her career on hold "indefinitely" for health and family reasons.

The singer cancelled all performances from August last year after her husband, Rene Angelil, was diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time.
"It was Rene's wish that I come back," Dion wrote in a statement.
"While my family will always be my priority, my fans are just as important to me."
The Canadian star, best know for the Titanic hit My Heart Will Go On, will be back on stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on 27 August. She last performed there on 29 July 2014.
The 46-year-old singer has been married to Angelil, who is also her manager, since 1994. The couple have three children.
"I look forward to performing again for all of you... and more importantly having Rene there with me," Dion's statement continued.
"Thank you for giving me this time I needed to spend with my family".
In an interview with US TV's Good Morning America, the singer revealed she had been feeding Angelil through a tube since his surgery to have a cancerous tumour removed in December 2013.
"Rene could not talk and he could not swallow; the surgery was major," she said. "I feed him three times a day, I do it myself."
Dion previously took a two-year hiatus from 2000 to 2002 to help care for her husband, now 73, when he was initially diagnosed with throat cancer.
"We live a day at a time," she told ABC News reporter Deborah Roberts. "Nobody knows what the future is holding for us."
Dion has become a regular fixture in Las Vegas, having performed a near five-year residency there from 2003 to 2007.
Her current residency began in 2011. Although it was originally billed as a three-year event, it was extended through to 2019 last year.
It has been confirmed the singer will resume her residency with 40 performances, to take place between August 2015 and January 2016.


West Ham could face FA Cup expulsion if Fifa finds the club breached rules over the selection of striker Diafra Sakho.

Sakho, 25, withdrew from Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations squad with a back injury but scored 18 days later in West Ham's 1-0 FA Cup win at Bristol City.
Fifa rules state a player cannot appear for his club if he is meant to be on international duty.
World football's governing body has begun an inquiry but the Hammers "vigorously" deny any wrongdoing.
If West Ham are found guilty, Fifa could order the Football Association to overturn their victory over the League One side.
Fifa is investigating a "potential violation" of its regulations by both the club and striker Diafra Sakho over his selection - but has declined to give a timescale on proceedings.
The Hammers are set to visit Premier League rivals West Brom in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday, 14 February.
The Football Association is refusing to comment but is believed to be aware of Fifa's investigation.
Senegal are angry Sakho featured for West Ham, albeit as a substitute, 48 hours before they were knocked out of the Cup of Nations.

The Hammers insist the player had a back injury that prevented him from flying and claim he was driven to Ashton Gate in a limousine for the FA Cup tie on 25 January.
A Hammers statement claimed Fifa's inquiry was "clearly unfounded" and requested its dismissal.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce said he was advised not to select Sakho for Saturday's 2-0 loss at Liverpool while the dispute was ongoing.
And unless the matter is resolved this week, Sakho looks set to miss Sunday's home game with Manchester United.
Bristol City declined to comment on reports they would seek £250,000 in compensation if Fifa finds West Ham broke the rules.


First Minister Carwyn Jones and union leaders have urged the UK Government to do more to help steelmakers compete by cutting their electricity costs.

Tata Steel is to mothball part of its plant in Llanwern with the loss of 250 jobs.
The UK Government is providing Â£35m to steel companies to help offset electricity costs.
But Mr Jones wants more of a response, saying high UK energy costs made it difficult for firms to be competitive.
"We have said this many, many times to UK government. They haven't responded effectively yet - we do need to see action," Mr Jones told BBC Wales.
Sue Lewis, regional organiser for the union Community, said it had been calling for help for years with energy prices but the support would only be in place in 2016.
"If this was brought in two years ago, maybe we wouldn't be having these redundancies," she said.
UK Business Minister Anna Soubry has said the UK Government would continue to "work closely with the sector to provide help where we can".
"My department has provided steelmakers with millions of pounds in compensation for energy costs and recently voted to extend anti-dumping measures on certain Chinese steel products.
"I will continue to meet with companies like Tata and provide support where we can."
On Wednesday, Tata confirmed some of its coil processing facilities at Llanwern would "come out of production" but added they would be retained so they can be "restarted in more favourable market conditions".
Analysis by Bran Meechan, BBC Wales business correspondent
Tata has been hit by cheaper steel imports from China and the higher costs of energy in the UK compared to its European competitors.
China is no longer building like it once was but is still producing all the steel. It's now selling that steel to Europe and it's much cheaper and while some say the quality is inferior, it's good enough for use in construction here. So Tata is now deciding to concentrate on the higher quality products which can't be produced in China.
Energy prices are particularly high in the UK and this is not just hitting companies like Tata but small businesses are feeling it as well.
There is help coming from the UK Government but that won't happen until 2016. The steel industry has been calling for years for that help to come in soon rather than later. And many, including the Community union, are saying how many jobs could have been saved if the help had been brought in sooner?
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Wales said it would be hard for so many skilled workers affected by the cuts to find work in the Newport area.
"The Welsh government is placing too strong a focus on attracting mobile global multi-nationals to Wales at the expense of plans to support smaller local firms."


Network Rail has apologised for creating a "disaster zone" after three days of signal failures on the Banbury to Paddington train line.

Issues at Slough in Berkshire since Tuesday have caused two-hour delays.
It comes after Network Rail replaced old signalling equipment at Slough over Easter, and promised no rail chaos afterwards.
Network Rail spokesman Julian Burnell said: "We are really, really sorry that we've had all these problems."
Network Rail installed "new state-of-the-art technology" at Slough during the Easter break as part of a major re-signalling project.
It had promised no delays like those experienced by passengers in London over Christmas after engineering work overran.
But passengers travelling on the line from Banbury in Oxfordshire through Reading and towards London Paddington said a one-hour commute took up to three hours.
Commuter Bill Gibbons from Reading said this week had been a "pantomime".
Mr Burnell said: "Can we just forget about this week?  It has been an absolute disaster zone on some of the signals we've got.
"All I can say is that we are really, really sorry that we've had all these problems.
"It's not the kind of service we want to provide, it's not what we get out of bed in the morning to do.
"[But] it does underline how old and how rubbish some of these signals are.
"We did replace a whole lot of them, but unfortunately we didn't replace everything."
First Great Western spokesman Dan Paynes said it had been an "abysmal week" for their passengers.
He added those affected could apply for ticket refunds via the First Great Western website.


Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan feels part of the club's "identity has been broken" with Danny Welbeck's departure to Arsenal.

The England striker, 23, came through United's famed youth system but joined the Gunners for £16m on deadline day.
United brought striker Radamel Falcao on a £6m loan deal from Monaco, their sixth signing of the transfer window.

"They have probably lost the way of Manchester United a little bit," Phelan told BBC Sport.
"Now, rather than produce, it may be the case where they are buying in.
"Someone like a Danny Welbeck has been part of United's identity and that has been broken.
"What will happen in the future now, nobody knows but that thread has been broken now."
Former United midfielder David Beckham said he was sad to see Welbeck leave, but is hopeful promising players will continue to be developed under new manager Louis van Gaal.
"Manchester United have always bought players in but also have had a great scouting system which Sir Alex Ferguson put in quite a few years ago, where we did create home-grown talent, and that is something we have done over the years," said the former England captain.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think Louis van Gaal is a talented manager, he is well respected and with Manchester United this is a project that will hopefully last for a few years and be a successful one.
"Hopefully we have still got young players coming through."
For many years United had a strong core of home-grown youth players under former boss Ferguson, with the renowned 'Class  of 92' - which included Beckham, Paul Scholes and Phil and Gary Neville - coming through the ranks.
As well as Colombian Falcao, new boss Van Gaal has also brought in Angel Di Maria for a British-record £59.7m, midfielder Ander Herrera for £29m from Athletic Bilbao, left-back Luke Shaw in a £27m move from Southampton, the £16m Marcos Rojo from Sporting Lisbon and midfielder Daley Blind from Ajax for £13.8m.
Meanwhile, United youngsters Tom Lawrence, Nick Powell and Michael Keane left on Monday, either on loan or permanently.
However, defender Tyler Blackett, a youth academy product, has played in the Premier League this season, while defender Reece James and goalkeeper Ben Amos have been included in the matchday squad.
But Phelan, who was Ferguson's assistant between 2008 and 2013, believes the big-money arrivals at Old Trafford could suggest a change of philosophy at the club.
"There is always the start of something and maybe this is the start of a new way of doing things at Manchester United and maybe that is the way football is going," he added.
"Is it better to look at the instant rather than the future? It is a difficult one because youth is always the future, we all have to start somewhere and you just hope that product of youth can develop in the Premier League."
Phelan expects Arsenal to give Welbeck the chance to flourish after finding his chances limited at United.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger already has a number of England internationals in his squad, with Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all first-team regulars when fit.
England squad member Calum Chambers was signed in the summer from Southampton and the defender has made three Premier League appearances this season.
"He is still only a young player and with young players you will get peaks and troughs but it is a case of Danny feeling more important in himself than he probably was over the last 12 months," added Phelan.
"He is in a position where he can play where he wants and I think that is why he chose Arsenal because they give him the opportunity to play in his best position, which is a striker."


Not one but indeed two reports have made a compelling case for changing how health and social care services are delivered in Northern Ireland.

In stark language the health minister said the system is at breaking point and that it is not sustainable.
The former health minister of the Basque country, Professor Raphael Bengoa, said that Northern Ireland is more than capable of delivering.
He said we should be leading the way in delivering first class health care.
Considering Professor Bengoa's world wide status there is little need for any more reports. What is required now is action.
Professor Bengoa also called for political maturity. He said that is paramount for the Minister's plan to work.
It may be a 10-year vision but short-term fixes in the past have failed.
The Â£40m announced in November 2015 to fix waiting lists clearly did not work.
The system could not deliver on time and most of the money was redirected into other areas.
That is because the system could not cope. There were too few staff, hospital beds and even operating theatres.
Such a huge problem cannot be fixed overnight. It will take time. But for some patients, time is not an option.
To get the public on board, and to show goodwill, the minister might have to tackle the current waiting list problem - not later, but now.
Such a move will also establish her as being in control.
An ancient Chinese saying goes: "Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. "
For Michelle O'Neill that step was getting the executive's support - but now the rest has to follow.


John Humphrys revisits Shirebrook in the East Midlands which, 10 years ago, saw the arrival of large numbers of workers from Eastern Europe.

For generations immigration to the United Kingdom conjured up images of black and Asian people getting off boats and planes, finding their way to our great cities, setting up home in areas where many thousands of their compatriots were already settled.
Many people worried that those areas became ghettoes, their inhabitants either unwilling or unable to integrate into the wider society.
More recently, the immigration crisis (if that's what it really is) has taken on quite literally a different hue.
The immigrants are white and they come not from the subcontinent or sub-Saharan Africa but from the European Union.
Those who worry about them are concerned not so much for the effect they have on our culture and the cohesion of British society or the British way of life as for their economic impact.
The front line of this relatively new wave of immigration is made up not so much of the big cities - London and the great northern mill towns - as of small towns, of which most of us had probably never heard.
Shirebrook is perhaps the perfect illustration.
It achieved a certain level of fame - or perhaps notoriety would be a better word - when Sports Direct set up its vast warehouse complex on its outskirts some 10 years ago.
They needed cheap labour and they brought it in from Eastern Europe.
What began as a trickle became a flood. Week after week trainloads of immigrants - almost all of them young men unable to speak English - arrived at the little train station in the centre of the town.
It did not take long before stories began to emerge of the effect this influx was having on what had been a quiet, slightly down-at-heel market town that like so much of this part of the East Midlands, had never recovered from losing its mining industry.
Reports began appearing first in the local press and then in the national newspapers of the way the immigrants were behaving.
We were told they were getting drunk in public, urinating in the streets and increasingly becoming involved in serious violent incidents. There were a couple of cases of people being stabbed.
I first went to Shirebrook  for the Today programme in the closing weeks of the referendum campaign in June last year, and what struck me almost immediately was that local people were at best uneasy and at worst afraid of what was happening to their town.
There were few obvious signs that anything much had changed - more men than you might expect wandering around in the middle of the day by themselves or in small groups, a couple of shops selling Polish food and, rather bizarrely, sticky tape stuck on windows.
The explanation for that? These were so-called HMOs - houses of multiple occupation.
Where once the property would have been occupied by a single family, the tape was a boundary marker separating each room into two, or even three, spaces and the house might have as many as 10 or a dozen single men living in them.
Local people were genuinely worried for the future of the town where most had lived all their lives - and that's why I've just been back.
My first impression? Things were remarkably calm. I discovered that a lot has happened in a short time. There was a much stronger police presence.
Sergeant Mark Church, who is in charge of the team, told me they patrolled the streets more regularly and they had also introduced public spaces protection orders, which meant people could more easily be fined for making a nuisance of themselves.
He also said a couple of young men who have been involved in more serious crimes had been sent back to Poland.
So the streets are, undeniably, quieter than they had been, and everybody I spoke to acknowledged that.
The town is changing in other ways, too, and maybe the most obvious sign of that - and indeed the most encouraging - was what has happened to the local academy.
In the early days of the immigration influx staff had struggled to accommodate children who spoke no English, so they set about teaching them. In one case, at least, the effect has been extraordinary.
Jakub couldn't speak a word of English a couple of years ago when he arrived from Poland as an immigrant. Now he is fluent.
Even more remarkable, he is the head boy of the school - elected by the very children who were once so nervous of all the new immigrants.
It was impossible not to be impressed by Jakub - not least because of his grasp of the local vernacular.
To hear a Polish teenager saying "Ey-up, me duck!" as though he were born to it is a bit startling, to say the least.
There is a problem for the school because, as the headmaster told me, he gets no extra funding to pay for any new teachers for those learning English as a second language.
But he clearly regarded it as a price worth paying - and it's hard to argue with that. Integration begins with the children who form a bridge between their parents and the local community.
So far, so good. But there is a darker side.
It was slightly dismaying that I could find no Poles who were willing to talk to me about their life in Shirebrook. Indeed, three of them pulled out of pre-arranged interviews.
Polish shopkeepers and the Polish man who ran the burger van in the market square were unfailingly charming but were clearly afraid of being quoted lest their words be twisted and came back to haunt them.
One of the great clichÃ©s of broadcast journalism is the vox pop. It sounds simple and it usually is: you just stop someone in the street, stick your microphone under their noses and off they go.
In the market square it took me about 30 seconds to find local men who, unlike the Poles, were very anxious indeed to put their views on the record.
They all insisted they were not racist but their concern was quite simply that the immigrants were given better treatment than they themselves were receiving.
One example was what happens at the doctors' surgery. They assured me that the Poles had a much better chance of getting an appointment when they wanted one than they did.
Another story going around was that there was actually a special day set aside for Polish patients only.
When I talked to the most senior GP at the local practice - an impressive Irish woman, Dr Beth Barrett, who was herself an immigrant from Ireland 30 years ago - told me that was nonsense.
She conceded that it does often take longer to deal with Polish patients who speak no English because they have to bring in translators.
She herself was becoming a bit of an expert at using Google Translate.
Obviously, you can't get deep into the heart and soul of a community after a couple of short visits. But what's clear is that the worst fears have not been realised.
It's true that there are more incidents of violence in Shirebrook than there were before the immigrants began to arrive but perhaps it would be surprising if that wasn't the case, given that the population has risen by nearly a fifth, and nearly all of them are young men.
It's also true that some people are more careful about locking their doors and walking alone at night in certain areas.
Undeniably this is a different town from the Shirebrook of 10 years ago. As I left, I reflected on how it might look in another 10 years.

Ronald de Boer insists Rangers will have to wait if they want to hire his brother Frank as their new boss.

Frank, who played at Ibrox alongside his twin in 2004, has been tipped to take over after Mark Warburton's exit.
But Ronald said a bad experience at Inter Milan means Frank will never again enter a job at what he considers the wrong time.
"He will never take a team at this time of year," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
Frank left Ajax for Inter in August 2016 but was sacked after just three months.
And he blamed a lack of pre-season preparation time for the problems that blighted his time in Italy.
"Frank won't go into that (whether there has been an approach from Rangers) but he told me, and I knew this already, that he's waiting probably until the end of April and then he will take his decision on what options are on the table," Ronald added.
"He wants to have a decent run-up. He had this lesson with Inter Milan when he had only two weeks to start the league, he couldn't really prepare the team. I think he learned from that so he wants to have a good pre-season and get to know the players very well.
"He will never take, for example, the Rangers job just now. That's not in question."
And Ronald insists his brother would asses whether Rangers could adapt to his playing style before making any decision.
"He has his philosophy," he added. "Do they stand close to his philosophy and how he wants to play? Is there a chance to buy players, all these kind of things.
"He has to observe the team itself, how strong it is and are the players able to fulfil his thoughts? Frank will play forward so he wants players who can play in small spaces, who can dribble and are willing to go forward. That's really important."
Warburton left Ibrox with Rangers sitting third in the Premiership table, having led them to promotion last season.
And Ronald has sympathy for the Englishman, insisting finances dictate that Scottish clubs must now show more patience with managers and players, much like in his native Netherlands.
"Of course (I have sympathy for Warburton)," he said. "You have to be patient, take your time and of course some players will do great in the Championship and then when you come to the Premiership it's different.
"Sometimes you have to see it happen and then you can judge certain players, because the pressure is suddenly way higher.
"The money is not there anymore, it's in La Liga or the Premier League, in the German league, the Italian - even the French league is more exciting than the Dutch and the Scottish. It's very difficult so we have to accept we have to build with young talent and have to be patient."


Gale force winds forecast for the Irish Sea have forced the cancellation of ferry sailings between the Isle of Man and Heysham in Lancashire.

The scheduled 19:45 GMT journey from the island on the Ben-My-Chree vessel will not sail and the 02:15 return journey on Friday will also not run.
The Steam Packet Company's remaining services on Friday are expected to go ahead as scheduled.
All passengers due to travel have been advised to contact the company.


Imagine a kilo of sugar - the large bag that you might buy in a supermarket.

It's a lot, isn't it? But that's exactly how much sugar the average adult consumes in a fortnight. Teenagers have even more.
This is the reason why the sweet stuff is the new frontier in the campaign to get people to live healthier lives.
One of the problems is that it's often hidden in the foods we eat. While fizzy drinks and confectionery are obvious sources, you may be surprised to learn that tinned soups, salad dressing and tomato ketchup all contain pretty high levels of sugar.
Government advisers have recently suggested no more than 5% of daily calories should come from added sugar - half the level of the previous recommendation.
But that is going to be a tough ask. No age group was meeting the old guideline, never mind getting close to the new one.
The response of health campaigners has been to call for tougher regulation - and in particular a tax on sugary drinks.
This is understandable. A typical can of pop can contain the equivalent of 9 teaspoons of sugar.
But the government does not seem to want to regulate, preferring to work in partnership with industry and pointing out many manufacturers and retailers have already started taking action.
Just this week Tesco announced it would stop selling high-sugar drinks specifically aimed at children, including certain types of Ribena and Capri-Sun.
While the move was widely welcomed, is it really wise to leave it to industry to help improve the health of the nation?
Of course the sector says yes. It points to the introduction of low-calorie and zero-calorie drinks - now accounting for half of all sales of fizzy drinks - and that the growth in bottled water is one of the fastest-growing areas of the drinks business.
Why is sugar so addictive?
Michael Mosley on how much sugar is in food
But the fact still remains that the number of fizzy drinks being consumed is still rising. Last year the average Briton drank 100 litres - 5% more than was consumed six years ago.
Instead of simply encouraging people to swap their drinks to "healthier alternatives", these new products seem to be actually growing the market.
However, Barbara Gallani, from the Food and Drink Federation, says the industry has also shown it is committed to making existing products healthier where it can, pointing to its track record on salt.
"Many companies have been voluntarily lowering salt in products for over a decade and this has contributed to an impressive 15% reduction in salt intake."
This is based on figures from 2003 to 2011, which show salt consumption fell from 9.5g to 8.1g per day. The record is pretty good, certainly better than many other countries have achieved.
And it is worth noting that the salt content of products on sale in supermarkets has actually reduced by much more - between 20% and 40%, according to industry estimates.
The problem is that many shoppers still gravitate towards options with more salt.
Ms Gallani says educating and influencing consumer demand has to be at the heart of any drive to reduce sugar intake. "Often there are only so many changes to a favourite food or drink a consumer will accept," she adds.
But many campaigners believe industry is just trying to put up barriers to slow progress.
"Yes, of course, we have to get the public health message out," says Dr Gail Rees, an expert in nutrition at Plymouth University. "But you have to consider what we can spend compared to what the industry can put into marketing its products.
"A sugar tax is just one of the things we should be looking at. We need to think about greater restrictions on advertising and the way products are promoted."
Within retailing this is known as the four Ps - product, price, promotion and place. For example, the way packages are designed, where they are placed in store or which celebrity is endorsing them can have just as significant an impact on consumers as how much they cost.
For sugary drinks and sweets this is even more important. Research shows the overwhelming majority of confectionery purchases are impulse buys: bought because they caught your eye as you passed.
If sugar is the new frontier in the fight against obesity, it promises to be a long and hard battle.


Work to help prevent flooding on a main road in Rhondda Cynon Taff has been completed.

Some £85,000 was spent by the council to improve a nine mile (14.5km) section of the A4059, between Aberdare and Abercynon, which is prone to flooding.
It was part of a £23m scheme to improve roads in the area.
Council leader Andrew Morgan said road improvements "continue to be a key priority when it comes to allocating our financial resources".
The road, known locally as the "Letty Turner's bends" has also had its drainage system improved.
Councillor Morgan said: "We will be investing over £23m in highways improvements, infrastructure and strategic projects over the next three years - this is on top of the £53m we have already invested since 2011 meaning that by 2018/19 we will have invested over £76m in these key areas in recent years."
