What did the royal family wear?
The Duchess of Cornwall wore an aqua-coloured coat dress with a pearl necklace, white diamond brooch and pearl-drop earrings.
Hats and fascinators are a tradition at Royal Ascot, and this year Camilla chose a wide-brimmed light blue hat by milliner Philip Treacy.
Prince Charles and Camilla were in the lead carriage, which travelled the length of the racecourse, followed by Anne, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Princess Anne's two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall (with her husband Mike), were also in attendance, as were Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
