THOUSANDS of racegoers enjoyed Ladies Day today at the Cheltenham Festival.
Celebrities spotted today included Camilla The Queen Consort, former football manager Sir Alex Ferguson, broadcaster Carol Vorderman, football commentator Christopher Kamara and Zara Tindall.
Camilla was among many who came smartly dressed despite the Jockey Club easing restrictions on what people can wear to its courses.
Before this year, there was no formal dress code for Cheltenham Festival – with people instead told to dress appropriately for the weather.
However, the Jockey Club has now issued guidance urging people to come “dressed to feel your best”, whether that be in a sweatshirt and jeans or a glamorous dress and high heels.
The royal also wore a camel hat and a silver brooch which belonged to the late Queen and features a galloping horse and rider to the event on Wednesday (March 16) traditionally known as Ladies’ Day.
This year Camilla will present the trophy to the winning owner, jockey and trainer of the race – the championship event for two mile chasers – in the winner’s enclosure.
