A better class of Ladies Day: Elegant racegoers descend on Espom in fabulous frocks and fancy hats but no bad behavour . . . yet

 Whilst Aintree is more commonly associated with short hemlines and daringly plunging necklines, the ladies of Surrey turned the day into a classy affair in an array of elegantly feminine frocks at the Epsom racecourse. Revellers at the Investec Ladies' Day brightened up the course in a series of bold floral frocks and feathered fascinators, left, as they basked in the sun.
And despite some raucous scenes at last year's meeting when some overindulged in a little too much champagne, the ladies were the picture of elegance in an array of tasteful dresses as they arrived, right.
