Stunning punters brave damp weather and wear glam frocks to York’s Ebor Festival as racegoers enjoy day out

The wet weather has not deterred spectators

Punters have enjoyed warm weather so far during the four day festival, but the rainclouds have rolled in today.

It hasn’t stopped racing fans dressing up to the nines though, with a number of impressive outfits on display.

Some have even opted for hats containing a bouquet of flowers.

Others have gone for more regulation style hats, but everyone is dressed up in their best outfits for today’s racing.

York racecourse is back up to full capacity after Covid restrictions have been relaxed, and an array of striking dresses and smart suits are on show today.

Some have opted for a plainer one colour look look, while a floral theme is also a popular choice among many.
