Wacky Races! Hats off to the weird and wonderful fillies of Royal Ascot's Ladies' Day
AS IF anyone was in doubt, Ladies Day proved that English eccentricity is alive and well. From a Gothic Eiffel Tower sculpture to a ladybird-adorned nest, it was a brilliantly bonkers day at the races...
Women attending day three of Royal Ascot scored a hat trick for their outlandish, eccentric and vibrant hat choices today.
Thousands descended on Ascot Racecourse to celebrate Ladies' Day and, fortunately, their outfits didn't disappoint.

We hope it's not too painful to brush out in the morning.
While two older women seemed to have sought fashion advice from pantomime dames in their flamboyant frocks and garish hats.
Nature was a key theme today with women chosing hats adorned with animal motifs.

One woman managed to keep any pesky greenflies at bay with her ladybird tie, skirt and hat.
To ensure they stood out from the crowd, many women chose extravagantly large hats that needed assistance in order to remain on their heads.
One woman rocked a towering floral hat, while another went for a Gothic headpiece with billowing fabric and a hanging Eiffel Tower charm.
Supersize feathers were another key look with the thought being, "the bigger the better!"
