A model shows off the hat which Beryl Otley, of Get Ahead Hats, based near Poppleton, has designed to help launch a new set of stamps paying tribute to British millinery.
Royal Mail asked Beryl, founder of the York millinery business, to create the new red, white and black hat, which depicts one of the stamps in the collection. Beryl said: "It's the first day of Ascot on Tuesday and those sort of colours are always to the fore.
"It's created with red wild silk and has to be carried with a lot of panache."
