In a grassy car park on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot racing week, a group of men (and one unseen lady) talk and relax, one smoking a cigar surrounded by the remains of a generous picnic lunch with a bouquet of flowers on their table. Trays of food and two bottles of Champagne have been consumed during a break from betting and socialising. They are dressed in formal morning dress of top hat, waistcoat, tails with two of the men wearing red roses in their lapel button holes, all traditional and obligatory dress code in the Royal Enclosures which can be seen by visitors in the public car parks near the famous Berkshire race course. In the background we see a silver Rolls-Royce car and a lady sitting in its boot (trunk) also eating picnic food. The day is overcast, but despite this, they are in a joking and excitable mood. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.
