My stars! Ruffians! Marauders! Ne’er-do-wells! Well I never! Whatever happened to them?
Ah, yes. Champagne is the beverage of choice for street toughs.
That’s not all. Apparently, in attendance at the event, there were women — let’s not call them ladies — who had “unsightly tattoos.” Go on, take a deep breath. We’ll fetch some smelling salts. But yes, you heard correctly: Women with visible tattoos. Revolting. But true.
To add insult to injury, Helen Wood, a “vice girl” who was once involved with footballer Wayne Rooney, was present at the race. And you will not believe how she was dressed:
Miss Wood, who attended because the festival is a ‘great place to be seen’, wore a backless, floor-length champagne-coloured gown.
The 24-year-old, who is the subject of an injunction after having sex with a famous actor, flouted protocol by neglecting to wear a hat as she sauntered around the grounds posing for photographers.
One moment please. The footmen are bringing in a fainting couch. Otherwise it would be useless to continue.
A lady without a hat. Good heavens.
Evans continues:
The decline in standards has not gone unnoticed, as racing commentator Sir Peter O’Sullevan pointed out when he said: ‘Sometimes the grandstands seem over-run by tattoos and bare flesh. It’s disrespectful – not just to the Queen, but to the horses.’
Yes, won’t someone please think of the horses?
