Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II (2-L), Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall (C) Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales (R) and Prince Andrew, The Duke of York (L) walk through the parade ring during the first day of Royal Ascot, in Berkshire, west of London, on June 18, 2013. 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. AFP PHOTO / ADRIAN DENNIS
