Three young racegoers pose with their hats designed as Quality Street chocolates during Ladies Day, the third day of Royal Ascot, in Berkshire, west of London. The five-day meeting is one of the highlights of the horse racing calendar. Horse racing has been held at the famous Berkshire course since 1711 and tradition is a hallmark of the meeting. Top hats and tails remain compulsory in parts of the course while a daily procession of horse-drawn carriages brings the Queen to the course.[Xinhua]
