THE Queen and Prince Philip waved to punters at Ascot's Ladies' Day today where they were joined by the in-laws. By staff reporter
Carole Middleton, 56, was beaming as she and husband Michael, 61, took part in the traditional horse-drawn carriage procession for the first time. The Duchess of Cambridge's parents a former air hostess and businessman travelled in a coach following Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh, and other Royal Family members. Carole, now a party planner, wore a pale taupe outfit and matching hat with lace detail. The Queen opted for a green-trimmed coral hat that matched the colour of her suit. The Middletons waved to racegoers who were drenched by a downpour that started just as the carriages entered the royal enclosure. The rain had threatened to ruin the day but dedicated fashionistas refused to let the weather spoil their fun. Extravagant hats were briefly covered by umbrellas, and bold dresses with waterproofs, until the sun eventually came out. Several punters paid tribute to the 300th birthday of the famous Berkshire racecourse, with one visitor donning a bold wide-brimmed hat with a veil which was decorated with a crown, a toy rabbit in a cage, eggs, leaves, butterflies and the number 300. Paula Iachetti-Gibson, who created the spectacular headpiece, travelled to Ascot from Milan, in Italy, for the occasion. There were several punters who risked running fowl of the dresscode. A group of six friends, for example, wore hats in the shape of different birds as a nod to the 18th century. Newly knighted Sir Bruce Forsyth, 83, also made an appearace with his wife Wilnelia Merced, who was dressed all in white. Meanwhile, a mystery racegoer set tongues wagging with this superinjunction hat, below. But who could it be? All will be revealed in tomorrow's Sun newspaper. Princess Anne, wearing lilac, and Princess Beatrice, in an indigo coat worn over a turquoise dress, were in the second carriage. Beatrice wore an elegant indigo hat, accessorised with a white flower. 3Once in the enclosure, the Queen spent time talking to jockeys, but made a fairly swift exit when the rain became heavier.
