The Royal Ascot carriage procession made its much-anticipated
\nreturn on Tuesday, providing one of the most iconic spectacles of
\nthe British summer season as King Charles III and Queen Camilla led
\nthe royal party onto the racecourse.<\/p>\n
The daily procession, which has become synonymous with Royal
\nAscot since it was introduced by King Edward VII in 1825, arrived
\nunder bright skies as racegoers gathered to welcome members of the
\nRoyal Family and their guests for the opening day of the five-day
\nmeeting.<\/p>\n
The return of the procession will come as a welcome sight to
\nracing fans after concerns were raised earlier this year when an
\noutbreak of equine influenza cast doubt over whether the
\ntraditional display could go ahead. However, organisers were
\nultimately able to proceed with one of Royal Ascot\u2019s most cherished
\ntraditions.<\/p>\n
Leading the procession in the first carriage were The King and
\nThe Queen, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington.<\/p>\n
The Princess Royal travelled in the second carriage alongside
\nher son, Peter Phillips, and his wife Harriet.<\/p>\n
Peter and Harriet, who married only a week ago, were joined by
\nQueen Camilla\u2019s nephew Sir Ben Elliot, who sat alongside Princess
\nAnne.<\/p>\n
In the third carriage were the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester,
\nwho will present a trophy to winners of a race on day one. They
\nwere accompanied by businessman Gus Christie and internationally
\nacclaimed soprano Danielle de Niese.<\/p>\n
The fourth carriage carried businessman Matt Ramsden and his
\nwife, together with Luke Irwin and his wife. Irwin is widely
\nrecognised as one of Britain\u2019s leading interior and textile
\ndesigners.<\/p>\n
The carriage procession remains one of the defining moments of
\neach day at Royal Ascot, with thousands of spectators lining the
\nroute to catch a glimpse of the royal party as they make their way
\ndown the straight before racing begins.<\/p>\n
