Crazy fashions at Royal Ascot Ladies' Day

We've got no idea if these ladies were allowed in.

"This old thing? Oh my darling, I just closed my eyes and pulled the first thing out of the wardrobe!" "Oh how priceless! I did exactly the same thing! Rather!"

Though we fear this racegoer didn't quite understand what is meant 'by having a flutter'.

What else do you do at the races except show off and place a few bets?

Speaking of betting, one lady had a brilliant idea to offset her losses: get her headwear sponsored by a major high street bank. And if she didn't, then she missed a trick.

Once again, the ingenuity of the average racegoer is peerless.

Losing money betting isn't the only danger at Ascot.

From the looks of things, several people were assaulted by crazed peacocks on their way to the track.

Luckily, these girls found a way round the danger: they dodged those rabid peacocks by sneaking in through a hedge. Sadly, they all ended up with bits of flower in their hair - and nobody had the heart to tell them.

As these ladies showed by incorporating cleverly-disguised satellite dishes into their headgear.
