Felicity Barnard, CEO of Ascot Racecourse, said: "It has been a fantastic week with some brilliant sport to enjoy. I think we have been a window for our sport and I am absolutely thrilled.

"We have welcomed more than 285,000 people across the site, nearly a 5 per cent increase on last year. I think we have worked really hard across the year to understand what people want when they come to a world class event like this; the right pricing, the right product, and we have worked really hard at the experience.

"We want to make sure everyone has a great time, whether they are here for the horses, the food or the fashion. It is a wonderful eco-system and we are already excited for next year."
