The dramatic majesty of the Royal Procession at Royal Ascot 2010 
Goldikova holds off Paco Boy to win the Queen Anne Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot 2010Updated: 10th February 2011
On Sunday evening (6th February 2011), we posted a message on Twitter asking people what Royal Ascot means to them. It was just a bit of fun and here are some of the best comments we received in no particular order:
‘To me, it's simply hattertastic...and I should know!’ Enthusiastic response there from @Imamadhatter.
‘Champagne, strawberries, horses, sunshine, frocks and the avoidance of breaking my ankles in totally inappropriate 5 inch heels!’ Be careful now @ediTRACKNatalie.
‘Hopefully my husband riding lots of winners, always a great week and hopefully he and the family will get a few this year!’ From @ChrissyHills
‘Royal Ascot is a family tradition. Haven't missed 1 since I was 12. Intend to attend ‘til body fails me/friends won't take me!’ From @SamAtSicilyBean
‘A first class racecourse, a British venue to be proud off.’ Aw, thank you @Horseracingno1
‘One of the racing highlights of my year good racing, great venue unbeatable atmosphere ... Book now ....... !!’ You won’t believe me, but @Philhutchings doesn’t work for Ascot!
‘1: my mates & me doing "The Ascot Jolly Boys" 2: steer clear of the missis for 6 days when coming home from work ;)’, Let's hope Mrs. @DazFootie doesn’t read this!
‘Getting to see top class racing at a world class venue. Or if not there, being able to watch it at school on the BBC website.’ Not sure if @calummadell is a teacher or pupil. If the latter, we can’t possibly endorse such action!
‘It means I won't be concentrating at work for 4 days!!’ From @derekcopland...there’s a theme developing here.
‘It meant a lot to me back in 2006 when I won over £500 on Les Arcs.’ Note to self, ask @grahamwitch1 what he’s backing this year.
‘Sunshine, Pimms and a cheeky bet with a bit of Frankie, Hughsie, the Hills and Ryan thrown in for good measure...bring it on!’ From @SarahHeath1
‘Frock, heels and fascinator and then I can think about what I'm gonna wear :-)’ Also from @SarahHeath1
‘What's not to like!’ I get the distinct impression that @SarahHeath1 rather likes Royal Ascot.
Thank you to everyone who gave us their input, it really is much appreciated.
