Racegoers go bright & bold for first day of Royal Ascot with celebs like Lottie Moss & Georgia Toffolo leading the pack
STYLISH racegoers went all out as they brought the bold and beautiful glamour to Royal Ascot today. Fashionable revellers donned their finest, and wackiest, frocks and hats as they descended on the surroundings of the famous Berkshire racecourse. 9 9 9 Boring beige was out and bright colours were in as guests were snapped arriving in the glorious sunshine for day one of what is one of the most glamorous events in the British horse racing calendar. Among the fashion fans were celebs like Lottie Moss, who was snapped wearing a white midi dress with trendy puffed sleeves. She kept things simple with a pair of white sling-back heels and a chic cream handbag. Made In Chelsea alum Georgia Toffolo was also spotted donning a stunning mint green dress by Xu Zhi and a matching hat by V V Rouleaux. Georgia paired the elegant ensemble with a Simone Rocha bag, Zara shoes. Royal Ascot is the pinnacle of British horse racing events and will see champagne corks as millions bet on races over the coming days. Steeped in tradition and elegance, the dress code at the prestigious horse-racing event reflects its rich heritage, demanding attire that exudes sophistication and refinement. It varies across different enclosures, with the Royal Enclosure setting the highest standards for attire with strictly top hat and tails only. The Queen Anne Enclosure offers a more relaxed dress code, while the Windsor Enclosure is the most relaxed, with no formal dress code but smart attire is encouraged. Meanwhile, other racegoers pushed the boat out with some seriously bold looks. One fashionista showed off her patriotic union jack dress, which she paired with a matching red hat and clutch. And another duo stunned in their bold yellow and red gowns, which they paired with lofty headpieces donned with flowers, feathers, and ribbons. There were more feathers on hats as another fashion fan went bold with their headwear, opting for a towering a hat adorned in towering blue feathers. Elsewhere, one fashion-forward attendee opted for a dark purple down with 70s inspired fringe detailing. Florals also made it big, as some racegoers were photographed with flowers piled high on their hats, with pinks, yellows and greens seeming to be all the rage. And butterflies had their moment as several racegoers decided to style their look with butterfly accessories, patterns, and even add them onto their hats. Outfits NEVER to wear to the races, according to a fashion pro Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has revealed what you should never wear to the races It should go without saying that dresses must cover your bum — ideally knee-length or longer. Coats should be tailored as a nod to the grandeur and smartness of the day. And footwear should remain on your feet. All day. So make sure it's comfortable. Another rule of thumb is never wear white. Remember, you'll be penned in with hundreds of people, and will need to eat and drink — that means ample opportunity for spillage. I'll never forget the images of a punter in 2019 who spilled red wine down her white jumpsuit. Her pals got creative and decided to drench the entire PrettyLittleThing outfit with the bottle's remains to create a tie-dye look. Instead, just remember your coat — not only because of the unpredictable weather, but should you slop ketchup from a hamburger down your front you can cover yourself up, too. When it comes to shoes, heeled sandals are a big no-no. They are great for giddy-up glamour but not suited to being outdoors all day. Try a wedged heel or closed-foot court shoe with a small, chunky heel for extra support and comfort under the balls of your feet. Zara Tindall always gets it right, for example with pair of black courts and slim-fit trousers. Also, don't be one of those country bumpkin try-hards. A nod to equestrian style is fine, but you often see people dressing head to toe in tweed or wearing Peaky Blinders-style flat caps. Lastly, the best-dressed at Ascot are always mindful of their boobs. Listen, I get it. If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em. But just not too much. Tastefully show the crease of a cleavage and leave everything else to the imagination. Showing off your entire bust is something that should be reserved for the comfort of your home or a night out on the pull. 9 9 9 9 9 9

James Bond villains were based on REAL Nazis Ian Fleming encountered in WWII, German fan group claims
Ian Fleming's experiences in the Second World War are long known to have inspired his James Bond novels. The author's role in naval intelligence saw him help plan key operations and create an elite unit of commandos tasked with seizing enemy documents. But now, a group of German fans of the Bond franchise have argued that Fleming based Moonraker villain Hugo Drax on a real military industrialist he encountered in Nazi Germany. The group, whose name translates as the 'Bond Club', say that Fleming obtained top secret papers which he used to craft fictional versions of men he came across. In the Moonraker novel Drax poses as a British army veteran working on a rocket project for Britain, before he is unmasked as Graf Hugo von der Drache - a Nazi seeking revenge for his country's defeat. The villain is depicted as having worked for Rheinmetall-Borsig, a real Dusseldorf-based firm which manufactured artillery and ammunition for the German war effort. The Bond Club believes Fleming saw filed seized from Rheinmetall and other firms, such as Krupp. Tobias Schwesig, the club's chairman, said: 'In the films you have these characters - they look like normal Englishmen or industrialists, and then it turns out they're bad guys, Nazis, who want to destroy England or America.' Ian Fleming's role in naval intelligence saw him help plan key operations and create an elite unit of commandos tasked with seizing enemy documents 'He often had a real, probably a real person back in mind, I think.' On Drax, he added to The Times: 'The villains in Bond feel so real because Fleming knew exactly how Nazi companies operated. 'This is particularly clear in the character of Hugo Drax in Moonraker.' The Bond Club's members also believe that the town in which they are based, Wattenscheid in western Germany, was the fictional Bond's birthplace. Fleming himself was always vague on the subject. While working in his clandestine role, Fleming founded what was known as 30 Assault unit (30AU). In early 1945, as Allied forces were fighting their way through Germany, the group were ordered to seize enemy documents and gathering any more information that might prove useful. Fleming also worked in another unit, T-Force, which captured German scientific and technical know-how and brought it to the Allies. They also brought Nazi rocket scientists to Britain before they were captured by the advancing Russians. The special unit was lightly armed, highly mobile and, following the D-Day landings, tasked with seizing anything of military value. The Bond Club also claim that one of the key henchman in Moonraker - Dr Walter - was based on the real scientist Dr Hellmuth Walter, who ran the Walterwerke factory in Kiel, Northern Germany, which was secured by T-Force in 1945. It was responsible for the design of the engines used in V1 and V2 rockets. The link was previously highlighted by military historian Sean Longden, who revealed many other resemblances between Fleming's work and the plot of Moonraker. He also highlighted how, in the book, 50 German scientists – described as 'more or less all the guided-missile experts the Russians didn't get' – are working on the Moonraker project. T-Force had extracted Nazi rocket scientists from the Soviet zone and Dr Walter assisted in this. The 1979 film, starring Roger Moore as 007 and Michael Lonsdale as Drax, bears little resemblance to Fleming's book. The Walter character does not feature at all.

Jeremy Vine: BBC stars who share their views are ‘less interesting'
Jeremy Vine has become the latest BBC broadcaster to take aim at colleagues who disregard the corporation's impartiality rules, warning that presenters who express personal views on air become 'much less interesting'. Speaking to Radio Times, the 60-year-old presenter said neutrality was the 'price of the ticket' for having what he called 'the best job in the world', referring to his work on Radio 2 and Channel 5. 'I'm there to facilitate,' Vine said. 'There's a cadre of presenters and you know what their views are on everything. But once you start to put your views on the table, you become much less interesting as a presenter.' His remarks follow the high-profile departure of Gary Lineker, the former Match of the Day host, who left the BBC after repeated controversies over his political posts on social media. In one instance, Lineker shared a pro-Palestinian video featuring a rat emoji - an image historically associated with Nazi propaganda used to dehumanise Jews. He later apologised, stating: 'I would never consciously repost anything anti-Semitic - it goes against everything I stand for.' However, the row escalated after Lineker gave an interview in which he not only criticised Israel but also took aim at his BBC boss. Despite his long-standing status as the BBC's highest-paid presenter, the broadcaster ultimately severed ties, having 'run out of patience' with his outspoken political commentary. Vine himself has previously been found in breach of the BBC's impartiality guidelines, after posting in favour of low-traffic neighbourhoods on social media in 2022. At the time, the BBC clarified that the finding did not apply to posts where he expressed personal enthusiasm for cycling, a topic he is well known for championing. He recently announced he would stop sharing his viral 'near miss' cycling videos, captured via a 360-degree helmet camera, due to online trolling. 'The trolling just got too bad,' he admitted. 'They have had well over 100 million views, but in the end the anger they generate has genuinely upset me. 'My aim was only to get all of us who drive to think about the dangers of trying to move around cities on a pushbike. I know I've sometimes got a little cross when a driver has, say, pulled out without looking, but I only ever uploaded the film to show the danger.' Vine's comments echo concerns raised by other senior broadcasters over the direction of BBC journalism. Her comments follow similar concerns raised by former Today presenter Mishal Husain, who left the Radio 4 flagship show in 2023. She shared her concern about 'personality-focused journalism' and the rise of ego in broadcasting Kirsty Wark, who stepped down from Newsnight last year after three decades, criticised the trend of opinion-led broadcasting in an interview on The Spectator's Women With Balls podcast. 'We are not the story,' she said, calling for the BBC to remain a 'trusted friend'. Wark stressed the importance of maintaining impartiality: 'What it is, is just straightforward basic journalism - do the journalism, act like a journalist.' While she did not name individual colleagues, Wark warned against presenters editorialising on air or inserting themselves into stories. 'Our job is to winkle that information out of other people. Our job is not to give our own opinion to the audience - absolutely not to editorialise,' she said. 'Be more straightforward. It's not about us. We always should remember that - it's not about us.' Her comments follow similar concerns raised by former Today presenter Mishal Husain, who left the Radio 4 flagship show in 2023. Speaking to British Vogue, Husain expressed concern about 'personality-focused journalism' and the rise of ego in broadcasting. 'It doesn't have to be about the presenters centring themselves,' she said. 'Hopefully, if they're a personality with journalistic integrity, journalistic values, then they can be a conduit to the news for people. What was true to me was that I would very rarely use the word 'I' actually on air.'
