Royal Ascot revellers don their finery for the second day of the racing festival
Keen racegoers celebrated the British summer time with floral frocks and fascinators this morning as they arrived at the second day of Royal Ascot 2023.
Stylish ladies were spotted walking into the racecourse ahead of another day of nail-biting races and plenty of partying.
Many opted for wild and wonderful outfits for the occasion, with some taking advantage of this year’s updated dress-code which permits women to wear trousers.
The glamorous scenes at the beginning of day two, where white seemed to be the colour of the moment among the earliest attendees, come after hilarious antics captured last night as the opening day of the festival came to a close.
Among the scenes of revellers who were heading home after a day of partying were savvy women who had ditched their high heels in favour of sensible flat shoes to travel home in, as well as a gentleman who had picked up some snacks to tide him over for the evening.
