England - Ascot - Crowds at the Ascot races

Seen from above, we see top-hatted gents discussing business or racing on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot racing week. From our aerial perspective we see their suits and carnation button-holes and racing cards on which details of runners and riders are listed. The name of Major Michael Young is on one man's name badge. 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.
