The Guinness was flowing at Cheltenham today as St Patrick's Thursday saw racegoers have a craic-ing time getting into the Irish party spirit.
Fashionistas have battled against gale force winds all week, with many revellers clinging to their hats and clothing as they entered the race track.
Morning showers gave way to cloudy skies this afternoon, with the gusty wind still making a nuisance of itself around the track.
But it wasn't enough to put some determined fashion fans off risking floaty skirts and daringly short hemlines.

Steal Zara's style with a coat by Pip Howeson
It’s been a right royal affair at this year's Cheltenham Festival so far with Princess Anne and the Duchess of Cornwall making an appearance, but one royal guest who is making the most of this year's event is Zara Tindall.
She’s been spotted at the races every day, and with each one, she’s provided us with some regal inspiration. Today, she’s opted for a more classic approach by wearing a grey coat by Pip Howeson, which she styled with the 'Cordelia' hat by Bundle MacLaren.
The ‘Scallop’ coat is a great option for such a prestigious event, and with the fit and flare silhouette, it’s tailored to flatter the figure effortlessly.
It’s a statement piece in its own right and a timeless one at that, so if you’ve got the cash to splash then copy Zara and click the image to buy her coat.
Alternatively, peruse our edit of picks from Great Plains, Mint Velvet and Reiss, which will no doubt have you catching everyone's attention.

It's been a magical day of racing at Cheltenham so far, with history made in the Ryanair Chase event.
Bryony Frost secured her place in the record books by becoming the first female jockey to ride a Grade One winner at Cheltenham, romping home aboard Frodon and thrilling the crowds at Prestbury Park.
She told ITV Racing: 'My god, he jumps and just at that minute when he got overtaken, most horses would quit, but he grabbed me by the hands and said, "Don't you dare give up, don't you dare not send me into the last - I want this more than you, now come on, where are you".
'Just look at what he's done there - deny that he just loves racing. He's unbelievable. He just made the dream come true, it's just incredible. He will deserve every single high five, pat and carrot.'
Just over an hour later jockey Lizzie Kelly followed suit, winning the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase aboard Siruh Du Lac.
She said: 'His jumping is so good that I could let him really roll. My god he jumps, he's an absolute monster.'
The curtain-raiser JLT Novices' Chase was won by Defi Du Seuil, ridden by Barry Geraghty.
Sire Du Berlais took gold in the Pertemps Network Hurdle, and Paisley Park, ridden by Aidan Coleman, delighted onlookers as he won the Sun Racing Stayers' Hurdle.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
