Carole and Michael Middleton both dressed to the nines as they joined the Royal Family for a day out at Royal Ascot without their daughter Kate.
The Princess of Wales has not attended the event with her family as she continues with her cancer treatment.
Carole, 69, looked stunning as she donned a floral blue summer dress and a matching floral fascinator as she smiled for the cameras.
Her husband Michael, 74, looked equally as smart as he wore in a morning suit and top hat.

The King did appear on the first day of Royal Ascot yesterday alongside Camilla.

Desert Hero is set to return to Royal Ascot this year, alongside three other horses owned by the Royal Family.
The King, 75, reportedly told courtiers he wants to honour the memory of his late mother by attending this summer’s Royal Ascot.
King Charles planned to spend “at least” one day at the racing festival and will host a lunch for a select “bubble” of friends and family.
Earlier in the year a source told The Mail: “Ascot is the perfect event for his current ‘bubble’-style distancing preferences – there will be lots of fresh air and plenty of chances to be seen by royal fans who will be desperate to get a glimpse.”
