Queen's Royal Ascot Gold Cup win: The widest smile as filly Estimate beats the field

The Queen wins the Royal Ascot Gold Cup after her filly Estimate beat the field by 'a nose'. As her horse Estimate crossed the finishing line to win the Gold Cup the Queen was seen to react with a wide smile and by clapping her hands.

Her racing manager John Warren was less composed and bounced on his seat clenching his fists.

It was the first time a reigning monarch's horse had claimed victory in the race's 207-year history. Estimate, a four-year-old filly trained by Michael Stoute, held off a challenge by Simenon in the final furlong.

The Queen received a rapturous reception as she was handed the winner's trophy from her second son, the Duke of York. Report by Ashley Fudge.
