My Fair Lady

“Every duke and earl and peer is here.

Everyone who should be here is here.

What a smashing, positively dashing
spectacle ~
the Ascot opening day!”

“Ascot Gavotte” Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
My Fair Lady (1964) Directed by George Cukor

Day Two of Royal Ascot. Don’t you think Eliza Doolittle would have looked fetching at the races in a hat made from the peonies in my garden?
