"It has worked out so many times over the years here at Wimbledon that I play my best in the semis and the finals," Federer said. "I couldn't be more happy. It feels great being back here as the winner."
In the audience was England Prime Minister David Cameron, David and Victoria Beckham and Kate and Pippa Middleton, the third-seeded Federer turned back the challenge of Scotland's fourth-seeded Andy Murray to win, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
This was the Swiss players first major since the 2010 Australian Open.
