It's the most prestigious day in the Royal Family's calendar. And let's not forget, the highlight of the Queen's year. Yes, Royal Ascot 2017 is in full swing. And we're rounding up the best moments from the prestigious event as they happen...

Day One

The Queen opted for a fail-safe neon co-ord

Queen Elizabeth II often opts for neon hues when dressing for momentous royal occasions. Just take a look back at the lime co-ord she chose for last year's birthday festivities. And after choosing a powder blue ensemble for Trooping the Colour, Her Majesty returned to her go-to look for one of her favourite events.

Kate Middleton donned one of her favourite designers

Just last year, Kate made her debut at the Royal Ascot as the Duchess of Cambridge. Surely a sign that she has well and truly been accepted into the Royal Family? And this year, she chose to dress in one of her favourite designers. The duchess wore a lace gown by Alexander McQueen which we couldn't help but notice looked strikingly similar to last year's look...
