The most memorable moments from Royal Ascot 2017

The exclusive five-day racing event held at England's Ascot Racecourse is one of the Royal Family's most exciting and traditional events of the year.
Here's our gallery of the most memorable moments from Royal Ascot 2017.

The Queen was all smiles on the fifth and final day of Royal Ascot, despite the disappointment of her horse Dartmouth losing in the Hardwicke Stakes. Always the fashionista, the monarch looked beautiful in a magenta Stewart Parvin coat and matching Rachel Trevor-Morgan hat. Prince Philip did not accompany his wife to the races, as he is still at home recovering from an infection.
