A light hearted and frivolous look at Royal Ascot

I thought all the Royals looked lovely yesterday, with Zara Tindall and the new Mrs. Phillips taking top spots for me.

It was nice to see one of the team from the Queen's Reading Room in the carriage procession. In the same carriage was Ben Elliott - Camilla's nephew, once co-Chair of the Conservative Party, founder of the Quintisentially group - a very posh concierge service. Interestingly, he is married to Steve Winood's daughter, Clare. A merger of two very different cultures.

There were some very elegant outfits yeterday, along with the normal bizarre and downright awful.

Wasn't keen on Mary Berry's outfit.

I liked Williams yellow flowers in his lapel compliment Kate’s dress.

Maybe we should all dress up tomorrow Ladies Day? For me that will mean changing out of my pyjamas….

I’ll be in yellow - oilskins and a sou-wester, as it’s going to rain all day. grin

I shared the Royal name when growing up with my stepfather. It’s rather posh but my school friends called me Askit’s kid. I notice that the TV presenters use a similar pronunciation of Ascot. I’ve never been to Ascot myself but my ex house mate from Chelsea did and she said she didn’t enjoy it.
I miss Bruce and Wilnelia.
