Here's what the 'Royal Procession' to the race course looks like.
Step 1:
The police show up to direct traffic, then the crowd (nice hat - check out the pose, think they've had their picture taken before?), then motorcycles, then the Queen's mounted procession starts.
Step 2:
Then the four carriages with the Royals. The first has the Queen and Prince Phillip. (she waved at Shirleen!) The last one has Princess Beatrice in red (I think). Don't know the rest. The only reason I think I know the Princess is that yesterday she scandalized the civilized world by wearing a dress that was 2 inches above the knee. (Gasp!!!) Commoners would not have been admitted to the Royal Enclosure dressed in such an inappropriate fashion. (notice the "coachmen" seated on the back of the forth carriage are actually "coach ladies")
Step 3:
They are followed by a line of 5 or 6 custom built luxury cars (in case it rains, I suppose) with little "royalty crowns". (to distinguish these custom built cars (Bentleys & Rolls) from all the others in the neighborhood) I've read they are made especially for her. They are luxurious, fast, and bulletproof. Then an ambulance. And at the end of a looong procession of miscellaneous vehicles (containing the Queen's posse), two mounted police ladies.
