Britain's Queen Elizabeth II receives the Gold Cup trophy from Britain's Prince Andrew, the Duke of York (L) after her horse Estimate wins the Gold Cup on the third day of Royal Ascot, in Berkshire, west of London, on June 20, 2013. The five-day meeting is one of the highlights of the horse racing calendar. Horse racing has been held at the famous Berkshire course since 1711 and tradition is a hallmark of the meeting. Top hats and tails remain compulsory in parts of the course while a daily procession of horse-drawn carriages brings the Queen to the course. AFP PHOTO / CARL COURT
