There are 25 racing fixtures at Ascot but Royal Ascot is the most famous. The Queen and most members of the Royal Family attend. Unless you have applied in advance and have a sponsor you won't get in to the Royal Enclosure - where the punters wear formal morning dress - tail coats and top hats for men, smart, conservative dresses and suits - with magnificent hats - for women.
