Race-goers pose for the media in their outfits at the annual Royal Ascot horse racing event near Windsor, Berkshire on June 19, 2012. The five-day meeting is one of the highlights of global horse racing and the pinnacle of the English social calendar. The Royal Ascot races have brought in a strict new dress code including a ban on "fascinators", the tiny hats beloved of Prince William's wife Catherine and other celebrities, organisers said.
