The King and Queen enjoyed a very sunny day at Royal Ascot on Friday as they attended day four of the esteemed racing festival on Friday.
Charles, 77, and Camilla, 78, led the way in the front carriage of the traditional procession as they marked their fourth day in a row at the racecourse.
Wearing a suit despite soaring temperatures and highs of 28C, the King appeared in bright spirits as he waved from the carriage while the National Anthem played.
The outing comes as it was revealed that Prince Harry is set to bring his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to the UK next month for his Invictus Games events.
