The 86-year-old royal, who was accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip, joined other formally attired racegoers for the festivities, which featured a Katherine Jenkins performance of “God Save the Queen” (video below).
Prince Andrew and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, the Queen’s granddaughters, were also on hand.
Among the major events to come during the extended celebration of the Queen’s reign are Sunday’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant, when a thousand vessels will escort the monarch down the River Thames in London.
On Monday, a star-studded concert is set for Buckingham Palace.
