With this year’s Royal meeting having taken place behind closed doors last week (16-20 June), would-be racegoers opted to dress up and celebrate in their own gardens and homes instead – and many went all out with the Champagne, picnic food and sartorial elegance...

We were very impressed with the efforts of these young racegoers, who even managed to get hold of their very own Royal Ascot flower wall.
