Royal Ascot 2024

[CaveMum]

Royal Ascot gets underway today with the King and Queen expected to attend, though it's yet to be confirmed if they will be there every day.

Last year I posted the carriage lists each day once they were released so happy to put them up again this year. The procession is at 2pm and you can watch live on ITV.

Also happy to answer any racing-related questions as we go along!

@capelmustard, you've got your wish today!

Looking at the pics of the Princess Royal and Lady Gabriella together in the carriage the other day, did anyone think there's quite a resemblance? They could easily be mother and daughter, rather than second cousins.
