Ascot - Day One At Duke's Lane

Duke's Lanei s a fabulous place to watch the carriage procession for Ascot as it starts here ... up close views. These photos were taken by a dear friend, Katrina Warne, and she is the copyright holder. She was with friends where the members of the royal family arrive by car and get into the carriages. Thank you, Katrina, for allowing me the use of her photos.

Peter Phillips and his girlfriend, Lindsay Wallace.  They did not travel by carriage.
