The centrepiece of Ascot's year, Royal Ascot is one of
Europe's most celebrated chase meetings, and dates back to 1711 when it was
founded by Queen Anne. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by HM Elizabeth II
and different members of the British Royal folks such as The Prince of Wales, incoming
every day in a horse-drawn stagecoach with the Royal convoy taking place at the
start of each race day and the raising of the Queen's Royal Standard. It is a
major event in the British community datebook, and press coverage of the
attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the actual
racing. There are 3 enclosures attended by visitors on Royal Ascot week.
Over 300,000 people produce the annual appointment to
Berkshire during Royal Ascot week, making this Europe’s best-attended race
meeting. There are 16 Group races on offer, with at least one Group One event
on each of the five days. The Gold Cup is on Ladies' Day on the Thursday. There
is over £3,000,000 of prize money on offer.

I love to attend such events while traveling, one thing I do before leaving my town is to convert cash from a near by exchange like KnightsBridge Foreign Exchange, believe me you will be able save money by doing this.
