Tickets for the Queen’s Stand and Grandstand enclosures at Epsom Downs Racecourse have sold out for Derby Day on June 2.

The racing event, to be attended this year by the Queen as the start of her diamond jubilee celebrations, has proved even more popular than usual.

Rupert Trevelyan, managing director of Epsom Downs Racecourse, said: "Without doubt sales for the Investec Derby Festival have been particularly strong this year.

"Hosting the first engagement of the diamond jubilee weekend celebrations has provided the opportunity for racegoers to attend and be part of an event which has been enjoyed by Her Majesty The Queen for the last 60 years."

A limited number of tickets are still available for the Upper Tattenham enclosure for £25 in advance, but immediate booking is recommended.
