The Queen and members of the Royal Family will join the thousands of racing fans on each day of the event, as they do every year. Their arrival, in horse-drawn carriages before the first race of the day, amassed a large crowd.

 Those privileged enough to be in the Royal Enclosure, which maintains a famously strict admittance policy, will have to keep their eye on their outfit this year. After confusion over the definition of ‘formal day dress’ in 2007 the Ascot authorities have reworded the dress code for women.

In now states: ‘For ladies, only formal day dress with a hat or substantial fascinator will be acceptable. ‘Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and/or miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour.’ For men the matter is somewhat simpler. Morning dress including waistcoat and top hat is the only permitted attire for the top-level of enclosure at the course.
