PICTURE SPECIAL: All the action from Goodwood's May Festival

It was three days of high-class flat racing on the South Downs - and provided plenty of clues for big meetings to come such as Epsom, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood.

The three days of action, watched by a total of around 22,000 people, included the Height of Fashion Stakes, Cocked Hat Stakes, Festival Stakes and Tapster Stakes.

Racing was complemented by a food festival which gave visitors the chance to taste local produce and watch demonstrations by top chefs.
