Buckets at the ready?

For the last time the royal procession clip clopped its way to the Knavesmire past the Palace Grounds.

Day Five

For the fifth time the start is grey, yet warm. The forecast is for the skies to brighten up steadily, with a hot and muggy afternoon with a high of 77F.

Yesterday turned out really fine in the afternoon, though it did take a while for the sun to come out.

The going today is likely to be firm.
