Must read

Katherine Jenkins and Gemma Owen were first over the starting line as guests arrived at Royal Ascot for Ladies Day on Thursday afternoon.  

Mezzo-soprano Katherine was joined by filmmaker husband Andrew Levitas as proceedings got underway at the Berkshire event. 

The Welsh star, 43, looked appropriately glamorous in a cinched cream dress while greeting onlookers shortly after making her way onto the course. 

Black stiletto heels complemented the look, while a smart netted fascinator served as a focal point as she posed for photos. 

On a warm day in south-east England, Levitas, 46, opted for a grey three-piece suit and raffish top-hat while accompanying his wife.

Following close behind, former Love Island star Gemma was accompanied by her father – retired Liverpool and England footballer Michael Owen. 

The TV personality, 21, caught the eye in a form-fitting halter-neck dress and heels, while her intricately designed wide-brimmed headwear ensured she stayed cool while watching the days proceedings. 

Michael, 44, was in his element having previously won Royal Ascot with his own horse, Brown Panther, in 2011. 

The retired footballer, who owns his own stables, moved into horse-breeding full time after ending his career at Stoke City in 2013. 

Meanwhile Nick Knowles and his fiancée Katie Dadzie looked as in love as ever as they attended day three of Royal Ascot in Berkshire on Thursday. 

The couple, who have been engaged since last August, stared into each others eyes in a sweet snap as Nick beamed from ear to ear.  

DIY SOS star Nick 61, didn’t hold back with his fashion choices as he opted for a striking black top hat and matching long black blazer jacket. 

Adding some summer colour, he opted for a pale blue waistcoat and baby pink tie while tucking a pink rose into his lapel.

Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, started on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday.

The King and Queen are likely to join the punters at the famous racing meet and cement their position as champions of racing, just like Queen Elizabeth II. They’ll be hoping to add to their tally of Royal Ascot winners.

Charles and Camilla took on the late Queen’s thoroughbreds and have entered a string of horses over the next five days.

The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds, and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign.

Traditionally, the King and Queen arrive at Royal Ascot in a carriage procession with their guests, a convention which will reach its 200th anniversary next year, as it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV.
