Celebrating my 21st birthday at Royal Ascot

Celebrating my 21st birthday at Royal Ascot, a photo by CharlesFred on Flickr.

My 21st birthday, back in 1982 fell on the Friday of Royal Ascot, which also turned out ot be the wettest day of the whole summer, still the rain was not enough to dampen our spirits and somehow it stayed mostly dry during the afternoon racing before clearing up at the end of the day.

Quite a contrast to The Derby two weeks ago, whilst tomorrow looks like it might well more like 29 years ago, wind and rain and more rain!
