Windsor Cup Polo Final 2019: Queen Elizabeth, Felicity Jones and Gillian Anderson turn out for the royal event

On Sunday celebrities and royalty turned out for the Royal Windsor Polo Cup final at the Guards Polo Club.

After spending the week at Royal Ascot, Queen Elizabeth brought a dose of brightness to the cloudy day in a fuschia pink suit. The look was paired with a floral-embellished hat and (briefly) someone else's scarf when a nearby guest had a wardrobe malfunction.

The Queen is patron of the Guards Polo Club. Earlier this month she also attended the Cartier Queen’s Polo Cup at Windsor, also part of her official summer calendar of events.

Actor Felicity Jones and the X Files’ Gillian Anderson were some of the A-listers in attendance, both pictured in summery dresses in the VIP enclosure.

Jones, who recently played Ruth Bader Ginsberg in a biopic of the Supreme Court judge, put her skill with a gavel to good use as she smashed open a barrel of Shichiken sake alongside Japanese musician Yoshiki.

The event was also a rare public outing for Jones and her director husband Charles Guard, who she married last summer at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire.
