🐎 King Charles & Queen Camilla, as Joint Patrons of The Jockey Club, will attend Derby Day on Saturday 6 June.

Their Majesties will present the Trophy to the winning owner, jockey, & trainer of the Derby.

Derby Day is one of the most historic & celebrated events in the British sporting calendar, with around 40,000 racegoers expected at Epsom Downs on Saturday to watch the 247th running of the Derby.

During the visit Their Majesties will meet the Chair of Epsom Downs Racecourse, Andy Hornby, as well as members of the Racecourse & The Jockey Club’s Senior Team.

Their Majesties will also present ceremonial caps to jockeys riding in the Derby for the first time, in keeping with a long-standing tradition at Epsom Downs Racecourse.

Following the race the King & Queen will present the Derby Trophy in the Winner’s Enclosure & congratulate the winning owner, jockey, & trainer before departure.

Their Majesties last attended Epsom Downs Racecourse on in May 2024, when their horse Treasure competed in The Oaks. The Derby was first run in 1780 & is one of five Classic races staged each year (the others being the 2000 & 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the Oaks at Epsom Downs & the St Leger at Doncaster).

The Derby is open only to three-year-old horses & is run over a mile & a half, including the famous Tattenham Corner. It is considered a unique test of the racehorse that its ability to produce future stallions has helped define the Thoroughbred breed. The Derby at Epsom Downs is the original Derby, with hundreds of horse races & other sporting events now named after it, including the Kentucky Derby in the United States.

The Derby was much loved by the late Queen Elizabeth II, who only missed Derby Day on two occasions during her Reign — once in 1956 while on a State Visit to Sweden & the other in 1984 when attending the 40th Anniversary of D-Day Commemoration in France.

#OnThisDay in 2019: Theresa May announced her resignation.

Standing outside Downing Street, Theresa May confirmed she would step down as Conservative leader after failing three times to get her Brexit deal through Parliament.

Her premiership had been consumed almost entirely by Brexit: the negotiations, the backbench rebellions, the DUP stand-off, the Commons defeats, and the impossible task of trying to unite a Conservative Party that was tearing itself apart over Europe.

May had entered No 10 in 2016 promising to deliver the referendum result and famously declaring that “Brexit means Brexit”.

But by 2019, her authority had collapsed. Her deal was rejected again and again, MPs could not agree on a way forward, and the country remained stuck in the political chaos that followed the 2016 vote.

Her resignation speech ended with visible emotion, as she said it had been “the honour of my life” to serve as Prime Minister and spoke of “the country I love”.

It was a dramatic end to a premiership defined by Brexit - and it opened the door for Boris Johnson, a harder Brexit strategy, a general election, and another extraordinary chapter in British politics.

Looking back, was Theresa May doomed from the start - or did the Conservative Party make Brexit impossible for any Prime Minister to deliver?
