Glamorous revellers donned their finest frocks and fancy hats as they descended on York racecourse for Ladies’ Day this morning.
Daring hem lines, floral frocks and sky-scraper heels were all on display as the event returned after a two-year hiatus.
The high-profile race meeting, which is formally known as Yorkshire Ebor Festival, started with the Juddmonte International yesterday and runs over four days, culminating on Saturday.
It was cancelled last year due to the UK being in lockdown – but racegoers made the most of dressing up again, with stylish revellers turning the racecourse into a sea of colour with their vibrant ensembles and summer prints.

The races – one of the highlights of the British racing calendar – attracts enthusiasts from all over the country.
There is no formal dress code at the Ebor Festival – with the exception of an obligatory jacket, shirt and tie for men in the County Stand.
However, guests are reminded to dress ‘within the bounds of decency’ and take inspiration from ‘wedding attire’.
Women are also encouraged to sport ‘dresses, high heeled shoes together with hats or fascinators’ on the event’s official website – although organisers note that ‘it’s most important that you feel comfortable and enjoy your day’.
From pastel blues to bright yellows, racegoers ensured the racecourse was a sea of colours as they arrived for Ladies’ Day

The festival is widely regarded as the most prestigious meeting at York in the calendar.
Each day racegoers will have the opportunity to watch and participate in the Ebor Fashion Lawn, a catwalk culminating in the announcement of the ‘best dressed racegoer’ picked by a panel of judges.
Among the best-dressed today included a lady dressed in a bold red dress with a matching fascinator, while another opted for an eyecatching pale pink and black polka dot off the shoulder dress.
While the festival is all about horse racing, many were keen to cause a diversion by flaunting their figures and posing for the cameras.
