下一站 : 大不列颠 Royal Ascot 17 th to 21 st June 2014
Royal Ascot The centrepiece of Ascot's year, Royal Ascot is one of Europe's most famous race meetings, and dates back to 1711 when it was founded by Queen Anne. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by the Queen and various members of the British Royal Family, arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage with the Royal procession taking place at the start of each race day. It is a major event in the British social calendar and press coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the actual racing. Over 300,000 people make the annual visit to Berkshire during Royal Ascot week, making this Europe s best-attended race meeting. A strictly enforced dress code also add to the sense of occasion, especially in the unique Royal Enclosure with highly restricted access.
