Queen presents winner's trophy at Ascot after King George race
Dressed in white, she was seen laughing with racing manager John Warren and Sir Francis Brooke, the King's representative at Ascot.
French-trained Calandagan, ridden by Mickael Barzalona, won the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, beating Kalpana.
The Queen presented the trophy after the race.
Camilla's visit to Ascot comes just weeks after she joined the King at Royal Ascot, where the couple were seen watching the action from the royal box.
During the five-day meeting, the King shared a warm exchange with Sarah, Duchess of York, in the parade ring, while his horse Purple Rainbow was beaten in the Sandringham Stakes.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign.
Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.

Mohamed Salah scores as Liverpool unleash £270m new signings against Athletic
Florian Wirtz's first look at Anfield gave fans a glimpse of why the club made him their – and with add-ons potentially a British – record signing with some clever touches and interplay and almost the opening goal. Head coach Arne Slot believes the Germany international will replace the creativity they lost from the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. 'I think there is always room for improvement in every department and we have added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons,' said the Dutchman. Hugo Ekitike relished his first experience of Anfield and cannot wait for much more after becoming a Red 👇 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 4, 2025 'Florian has a lot of creativity in the final third and we have lost with Trent a lot of creativity from the back. 'Trent's crosses and picking out runners was so special – Flo has this quality in a totally different position. He brings that creativity.' Wirtz's fellow new signings also showed they were settling in well as Jeremie Frimpong linked up well with Salah, fellow full-back Milos Kerkez was solid and Hugo Ekitike showed flexibility across the forward line. Wirtz headed onto the crossbar before Ekitike crossed for Salah to fire home and Gakpo scored twice after the break after Oihan Sancet had levelled. Liverpool went into the double-header with just one recognised centre-back with Virgil van Dijk ill and Joe Gomez injured and looked vulnerable at set-pieces, with Maroan Sannadi heading an equaliser from a corner. 'The other games pre-season we have conceded a few too many chances but today we hardly conceded anything at all and that pleased me as well,' added Slot. First appearances as Reds at Anfield for our summer arrivals ✊🔴 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 4, 2025 'So to concede two set-piece goals in the second game is not what you want, especially if you play Crystal Palace next week who are a team who are very strong on set-pieces. That's another thing to work on.' In both matches Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash last month, was remembered with fans standing and clapping and singing the forward's song. When the clock showed 20, action on the pitch also halted as players and officials joined in the applause. Liverpool's second string won 4-1 earlier, after an erroneous fire alarm had evacuated the Main Stand before kick-off, with 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha continuing his impressive pre-season form with a goal after just 87 seconds. Ben Doak, three years his senior, also scored while there were goals for Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott, two players whose futures appear to be away from Anfield. Nunez, who has been linked with Al Hilal for a while with AC Milan also opening talks over the Uruguay international, thumped the badge on his shirt in front of the Kop while Elliott was the last to leave the pitch having blown kisses to all four sides of the ground.

One of Sydney's best rooftop bars is turning 10 – and they're celebrating with Vegemite-laced cocktails
A British-Australian engineer, Henry Deane was responsible for converting Sydney's original horse-drawn and steam-powered trams to electric power in the 1890s. It's also the name of the classy cocktail lounge perched above the Millers Point pub, Hotel Palisade – named in honour of Deane's whopping big contribution to Sydney. You can really appreciate the beauty of our Harbour City from the top floor of this rooftop bar. It's got the kind of views that make you feel proud as punch to live here – spanning the Harbour Bridge, city skyline, the beginnings of the Parramatta River and even Barangaroo below. And while Mr Deane lives on in the history books, we reckon this would've been one of his favourite spots for a cold one, too. As Time Out's Editor in Chief Alice Ellis said in her five-star review, 'Henry Deane cocktail lounge may just sit atop an old Sydney pub, but an afternoon spent there will have you feeling on top of the whole world.' This year, the swish cocktail bar turns ten – and to celebrate, the team has launched a fresh food and cocktail menu, complete with Vegemite-laced tipples. Classic cocktails are available – and they're done well, too. But why not try the Miss Marshie – made with Ketel One vodka, toasted marshmallow, fizz and pineapple foam – it's fancy and a little bit sweet. For something that tastes like a holiday, go for the Circa 1915, featuring Hotel Palisade Portside gin, coconut, mandarin and makrut lime. Feeling brave? Try the Home Slice, a grown-up riff on an Aussie breakfast staple, made with sourdough bread-soaked vodka, verjuice, charcoal-activated vanilla syrup and Vegemite. It's subtle, elegant and well-balanced. The share-style food menu changes with the seasons – but you can always count on it complementing the cocktails. Kick things off with a finger-like golden potato hash topped with a squiggle of abalone sauce and finished with smoked pork dust. Fresh chopped prawns come with a butter bean dip, fermented honey and a hint of chilli; and marinated grilled chicken is paired with a punchy green sauce and preserved lemon. Next time you've got a friend visiting from Melbourne, or you wanna score a brownie point or two on a first date, head up to the rooftop and order a cocktail at Henry Deane. Promise they're anything but watery. Find out more here. These are the best rooftop bars in Sydney.
