AUDIO IS SILENT IN SOME PLACE
It was a very hot day, but it was also not good to see so many people leave garbage on the grass. Not good.
We saw the King and Queen again too.
You can hear people screaming for their horses!!
History:
The Royal Ascot, which has been a tradition since around 1711, features the world’s best race horses, plus the fanciest fashions and food money can buy.
According to People, in 1711, Queen Anne rode her horse from Windsor Castle to the field and said, “This would be a fine place for a race.” Later that year, the first event was held, and the tradition has continued ever since. The royal procession has been going strong since 1825.
CNBC reports that a British monarch has attended the Royal Ascot every year since its inception. And at 2 p.m. each day, the Queen and the rest of the royals enter via a procession in horse-drawn carriages. The carriages travel down the race track and into the parade ring. Then, they enter the Royal Enclosure, the most exclusive section of the venue.
The Royal Enclosure is an invitation-only section of the Ascot Racecourse. It was established in 1807, originally only for guests of King George III. Town & Country reports that there’s a very strict dress code, with women asked to dress modestly and wear hats or headpieces with broad bases. Fascinators are out of the question.
The Queen Anne enclosure is more upscale, with a stricter dress code, and fans can check out the races from elevated lawns.
