The Queen is looking on, watching the racing from the parade ring today, as she waits for the Hardwicke Stakes.

Can her horse, Dartmouth, win for a second consecutive year? It's Her Majesty's last chance for victory.

The scene is set.

In 2016 the Hardwicke Stakes was arguably the most memorable race of the year.

With the Queen’s extraordinary patronage doing so much to help make Royal Ascot such a special event, the least she deserves is the occasional winner.

Dartmouth managed that last summer, and only the bookies would begrudge the Queen and Dartmouth winning again.

With her husband being admitted to hospital, The State Opening of Parliament, and having to endure record breaking temperatures on two of the five days at her favourite race meeting, she has more than earned a victorious moment.

The biggest threats will come from John Gosden’s Wings of Desire and Aidan O’Brien’s Idaho.

That was definitely a surprise, there were very long odds on Snoano winning, and second placed Majeed was also regarded as an outsider.

It was an impressive victory, having stormed through late on, and winning it by a whisker.

David Simcock has had a very good week. He had a winner already this week in the Britannia Stakes and had a very close runner up there.

Since retiring from riding, Willie Carson has taken to breeding racehorses. The winner in the Wolferton Handicap, Snoano, was one of Willie's horses, and he sounded understandably delighted speaking to Radio 5 live after the win.

The Wolferton Handicap is a tough one to call.

At least half a dozen trainers will quite reasonably think they have a great chance here.

Charlie Appleby’s Kidmenever, Sir Michael Stoute’s Khairaat, David Simcock’s Dragon Mall and Majeed, Roger Varian’s Central Square, Andrew Balding’s Elbereth and Ralph Beckett’s Pacify are all worth consideration.

Martin Dwyer rolled back the years to win earlier this week. The Derby winning jockey is on Restorer, trained by Willie Muir. If you’re looking for a longer priced horse to back this might be the way to go.

Here are some of the spectacular headpieces making headlines on the final day of Royal Ascot 2017.

That was a good steer to other jockeys today, that you have got to get on the far rail, that is where the fastest ground is.

Nyaleti tried to ply all the way up the middle, almost recklessly, and September was able to catch him.

Horses are herd animals, and like running in a pack, and having a rail to run against.

It was a brave move from John Egan, the jockey on Nyaleti, to run down the middle, and it didn't pay off.

The opener today is the Chesham Stakes.

William Buick was on board a winner here yesterday and he could score again on Masar. Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien won both the Group 1 races and they are evens to start the final day back in the Winners Enclosure with September.

O’Brien won this race back in 2011 with Maybe, and everything points to September giving him another Chesham triumph.

The Queen has two runners today, both Learn By Heart in the 14:30 Chesham Stakes, and Dartmouth in the Hardwicke Stakes at 15:40.

But how do you pick the jockey out of a big crowd?

Her Majesty's distinctive registered racing colours (termed silks), as worn by the jockeys riding her race horses, are the same as those used by her father and great-grandfather, King Edward VII.

They feature a purple and scarlet jacket with gold braiding, with a black cap, as seen below.

Struck by just how quick the ground is at Royal Ascot - a strong breeze into their faces too so not expecting records.
