Four consecutive days of top class racing make Royal Ascot the most important meeting in the British racing calendar.
But it isn't just the quality of the horses that makes 'Ascot' an institution. It is the hats that the spectators wear.
Royal Ascot is one of the major events of the London social season. The emphasis is on style and pageantry.
Each day the proceedings begin with the Royal Procession. The Queen and her courtiers enter the course in fine horse-drawn carriages through the Golden Gates. They move grandly down the Straight Mile to the Royal Enclosure.
Here Britain's top socialites are waiting. Men must wear morning coats and top hats. By tradition ladies compete with each other to wear the most astonishing hat.
