The pics I found on the the BBC berkshire website are really fun to look at.
With the smoking ban coming in at the beginning of July Day 3 Pic1 - an unidentified young lady wearing a hat created as an ash tray with a half smoked fag stubbed out in the bowl
Another unidentified lady flies the flag in a really stylish fashion in pic seven
Some work better than others
Day 3 pic 37 shows a hat that seems to feature real starfish and scallop shells.
The designers themselves often turn up and show their creations,
in day 3 pic 43
Hat designer Tracy Rose shows a dramatic Orange, silver and yellow outfit co-ordinated dress and hat.
compare that to day 2 pic 13 where Tracy's hat seems rather top heavy in the form of an upside-down champange glass
Sometimes the hat wears the star and a sometimes the other way about,
in pic 50
Jodie Kidd with large hair wears a simple hat in an unusual way. Compare that to her hat on the previous day shown in pic number 8 were a happy looking jodie has pheasant feathers curving from a wide asymetric brimmed hat.
Also on day two we see Sophie, Countess of Wessex in pic 12

a swirly red bow on a white base in pic 6
The mature ladies don't want to miss out in day one pic 11

tmember ianL

NAKED PICTURE WARNING Note that if you visit this flickr set of pics that it includes the "naked london bike ride"

she has them "all rights reserved" so I can't post the pictures without permission, which I haven't sought yet, but you can visit the London pics at Christine Seebach London views set and Glasonbury at Glastonbury set"

One of Christine Seebach's other pics shows a sign taped to a wall outside the Nell Gywnne tavern saying "staff wanted -must have own teeth" there are some comments in a language I cannot read. Perhaps someone can translate them.
Some other of christine's pics show Wimbledon, the home of the famous tennis tournament that starts this week, it never bodes well for good weather, rain is so common during wimbledon week, her photos show the area but not show the tennis.
