THE Queen attended Ascot for the fifth day on the trot today as boozy punters lapped up the party atmosphere.

Her Maj, 92, was wheeled down the course in a horse-drawn carriage in front of thousands of racegoers on the final day of the festival.

Pimm's flowed in the stands as the Queen, joined by the Duke of York, waved to the crowds — who brandished their mobile phones to record the procession.

Wearing an aquamarine outfit with pearls and a feathered hat, she was carted down the final furlong before the start of racing.

The Queen attended the Berkshire course for every day of Royal Ascot this year amid scorching sunshine and temperatures in the high twenties.

Stacks of empty Pimms jugs lined the pavilions as suited-and-booted revellers quaffed drinks to stave off the heat.

The hats and dresses of Royal Ascot 2018 - one of the most glamorous events of the year

Celebs were out in force to soak up the fun and pose in their posh clobber.

Kelly Brook wore a £995 Roksanda bow sleeve crepe dress — and Dame Helen Mirren looked glam in a tie-neck belted floral midi.

Earlier in the week Meghan Markle made her Ascot debut — while yesterday Fergie and Michael Owen were among the famous faces taking in the action.

It was the 47-year-old sixth Gold Cup win and he treated the 70,000 crowd to a trademark flying dismount.
