Royal Ascot- June 17th

Last Tuesday we attended the rather POSH event- The Royal Ascot. It's the British equivilent of the Kentucky Derby, where you have to get all dressed up and wear a hat.

Here's a picture of the Grandstand:


Again:

Here are the jockeys as they are being introduced to the crowd:

"Pretty Ladies" Louise (the birthday girl), Lucy and Renee:

Lucy and Renee posing with Kevin and I:

We even got to see the QUEEN!!!! Here's a picture of Liz herself as she was coming in with the "Royal Parade" We were so close that I didn't even have to zoom to get this picture of her!:

Here's a slightly less exciting picture of Prince Charles and Camilla with 2 of the Princesses whose names I can never remember. Maybe Beatrice and Eugenia? Don't quote me on that though:

Kevin with the masses of people in the background:

One of the races. We placed small bets on some of the races... and I even won once... £3.80 for my £2 bet!:

It was a really fun day at the races!
