Locals and visitors alike are pouring through the gates, while overhead the weather gods are wooing a big turnout with mostly clear skies and a pleasing breeze.
Many have come in their Sunday, or should that be Saturday night, best. Eye-catching dresses, tailored suits, polished shoes and hats and fascinators in all shapes make for a colourful, buzzing canvas.

The Cup itself is due to start at 5.15pm.
