22 June 2025

Royal Ascot 2025 has officially finished, having seen tens of thousands of people gather in style.

King Charles attended alongside Queen Camilla for the fifth and final day of the annual event on Saturday.

The pair presented jockey James Doyle with his trophy after his victory aboard French runner Lazzat in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

Soaring temperatures posed an extra challenge for event organisers this year, as dozens of people required medical assistance because of heat-related illness on the second day.

Free water was provided to racegoers and horses were kept cool using misting fans and a mobile water bowser with a 1,000-litre (220-gallon) capacity.

In total, an estimated 250,000 people attended the five-day event, which was founded by Queen Anne in 1711.

As well as being a sporting event, it has become well known as a key social occasion, with many donning extravagantly designed headwear.
