Top hats, moustaches and candy-coloured headwear were the theme for day four of Royal Ascot.

Thousands have attended the five-day event at the Berkshire racecourse, which comes to a close on Saturday.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were in attendance, alongside Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

It came on a day Porta Fortuna came with a well-timed run to beat Opera Singer and win the Coronation Stakes.

Listen along for the results of the races with BBC Radio Berkshire.
