A Day at the Races


“Laura Meakin wears an ornate hat on the third day of the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting, traditionally known as Ladies Day in Ascot, England, Thursday, June, 19, 2008. The annual Royal Ascot horse race meeting spread over five days is one of the highlights of the English social season. The Royal Enclosure the most sought after part of the course has strict dress codes for men and women, with morning suits top hats for men, and conservative dresses and hats to be worn by women-though interpretation by top designers leads to some interesting and colourful creations.

I say Guv’nr. Shall we off to Ascot? My, my, must maintain the standards of our class. What would Her Majesty be wearing today, I wonder? It would be so de rigueur to outshine the Royals.




Ah, but that other Day at the Races was really the best, a classic and a gem.
