Ladies' Day at Glorious Goodwood - 51 of the best pictures from stunning day on the Downs

Day three of the Qatar Goodwood Festival is traditionally the day the ladies take centre stage with their high fashion, hats and fascinators – although the gents do their best to look dapper too. Today was no exception to that tradition.

With the sun shining on the South Downs, the afternoon sparkled as a big crowd enjoyed the Magnolia Cup, the Qatar Nassau Stakes and plenty more besides.
