It is the most valuable meeting in the United Kingdom, with the total Royal Ascot prize money eclipsing £10 million over the five days.
Lester Piggott holds the record for the most successful jockey in Royal Ascot history with 116 winners while Aidan O'Brien is the most successful trainer at Royal Ascot.
