England - Ascot - Couple going to the Ascot races

A couple just off the train from Waterloo are en-route to Ascot racecourse on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot racing week. Not looking particularly happy to have arrived, two elderly women look at the clothes worn including the man's top hat and tails. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and English social season. Over 300,000 people make the annual visit to Berkshire during Royal Ascot week, making this Europe's best-attended race meeting. There are sixteen group races on offer, with at least one Group One event on each of the five days. The Gold Cup is on Ladies' Day on the Thursday. There is over £3 million of prize money on offer.
