It's Gold Cup day at Cheltenham, and eager revellers donned very extravagant headgear as they flocked to Prestbury Park this morning to witness the festival's spectacular grand finale.
Feathers and florals were the order of the day, with many opting for chic tartan suits and fur-lined coats to keep out the early Spring chill.
Carol Vorderman was one of the first celebrities to arrive, making a statement with a monochrome look set off by bright red gloves and a large waisted belt with a gold buckle.
The Gold Cup is the jewel in the crown of jump racing, with reigning champion Native River in with a strong chance of doing the double if he can fend off hotly tipped rival Presenting Percy.

The Guinness was flowing at Cheltenham yesterday as St Patrick's Thursday saw racegoers well and truly get into the Irish party spirit.
It was a magical day of racing, with jockey Bryony Frost riding into the history books to become the first female to ride a Grade One winner at the meet.
Just over an hour later jockey Lizzie Kelly followed suit, winning the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase aboard Siruh Du Lac.
There were wild celebrations in the paddock after Paisley Park romped to victory in the Sun Racing Stayers' Hurdle.
Zara and Mike Tindall geared up for the final day of the festival, with Zara sporting a bespoke Claire Mischevani coat dress with a black and white cocktail hat by Scottish milliner Sally Ann Provan
Win the style race like Zara in a coat by Claire Mischevani
Zara Tindall is a regular at the races, and she's been at the Cheltenham Festival every day this week.
She's definitely upped her style game this time, choosing bespoke coats by the likes of Guinea London and Pip Howeson. And today's cover-up is another custom made creation!
It's by Claire Mischevani and we love the black and white boucle check fabric, asymmetric buttons and tie neck. Zara has turned to the designer on several high profile occasions (including Meghan and Harry's wedding!), plus Princess Beatrice is a fan too so Claire is clearly a family favourite. We're loving her hat by Scottish milliner Sally Ann Provan and Paul Costelloe bag too!

Two years ago the race horse, owned by former shop steward Andrew Gemmell, who has been blind since birth, nearly died from a serious illness.
But the seven-year-old made a miraculous recovery, going on to win all four of his races this season, including Grade One successes at Ascot and Cheltenham.
Tears were shed as Gemmell, who relies on radio commentaries and tannoys for racing updates, and trainer Emma Lavelle lifted the trophy following jockey Aidan Coleman's spectacular ride.
Comedian Dom Joly also came prepared for the wet weather, and donned a smart green tartan check wool suit - a nod to the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside

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.
