In pictures: Head-turning hats on Ascot Ladies Day

It is Ladies Day at Royal Ascot and women are once again wearing some head-turning millinery.

The event marks the third day of the event at the Berkshire racecourse.

While it's best known as a sporting event, Ascot is also a social occasion, with more than 250,000 people expected to attend over five days.
