Hi everyone, I have to make this a flying entry via my Blackberry as I'm at Ladies Day. Couldn't miss it for the world, but simply had to share some of the incredible sights and remind you to keep a look out for them tomorrow.

There have been some truly outrageous hats as usual! Topping the list is an outsized blue cheese creation. Yes, seriously. A blue cheese hat! A close runner up - so far - was an interesting 'hysterical kitty-got-the-yarn' design. Perhaps not quite my cup of tea, but kudos to these ladies for their originality.

Anyway, my absolute favourite hat of the day (apart from mine, of course, and I must say people have been very complimentary) is Cilla Black's gorgeous, gorgeous red flower affair.

One can rely on the royals to give everyone a lesson in how it's done, though. Beatrice and Eugenie are looking stunning in simple white affairs while Autumn Kelly is bearing an eerie resemblance to her American namesake Grace Kelly in princess-style ensemble.

That's it for now, I'm off for another glass of champers. What a fabulous day!
