Her husband Prince Philip is recovering at
home after being discharged from hospital, but the Queen
is determined
to stick rigorously to her schedule.
The
monarch attended Royal Ascot, one of her favourite events of the year,
without her husband for the second day running with Prince Andrew
stepping up to accompany her in the traditional carriage procession.
Her
Majesty was resplendent in a fuchsia coat and hat, showing no signs of
fatigue after a busy two days that saw her attend the State Opening of
Parliament yesterday, before nipping back to Windsor to host a lunch and
make it to Ascot in time for the first race.
Also
in attendance this afternoon were her granddaughter's Beatrice and
Eugenie who were equally fresh-faced after attending last night's
V&A summer party.
Beatrice sported
a blue dress and wore her hair in a braid beneath her black and white
picture hat by milliner Nerida Fraiman, while her sister looked striking
in fiery red.
