Queen best in blue as bookies lose out at Ascot
Jubilant crowds watched in excitement as the Queen arrived at Royal Ascot yesterday at the head of the royal carriage procession that also included Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Other famous faces taking their places trackside included four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah, TV presenter Declan Donnelly, football pundit Robbie Savage and sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher.
The traditional betting on the colour of the Queen’s hat had seen blue become the runaway favourite with many bookmakers.
So when the Queen arrived at the head of the carriage procession wearing a powder-blue outfit, the bookies were left paying out for the second day running after she wore a heavily-backed yellow hat on Tuesday.
