"FASHION"
A big part of Ascot is fashion, with the ladies
keeping a close eye on what every one else chooses to wear. Royal Ascot is
the world's most famous race meeting, steeped in history that dates back to
1711. Ascot is one of the highlights of the British social calendar where the
idea of 'class' still prevails. Royalty mix with the rich and famous in the
Royal Enclosure which was originally established to provide the Royal Family
and their selected guests with privacy, security and exclusivity, allowing
them to enjoy their day in comfort and style. While the 'well-to-do' politely
sip champagne in their segregated area, the commoners generally get very
drunk in theirs.
