A defining tradition of Royal Ascot, The Royal Procession captures the pageantry, heritage and elegance that make the event unique. Simon Wright depicts the arrival of the Royal Family in the famous horse-drawn landaus, a moment that has become synonymous with the opening of each day's racing.

Painted live during Royal Ascot 2026 while serving as Artist in Residence, this original artwork offers a rare and authentic record of the occasion. The piece is currently in progress and will be completed in Simon's studio, where further detail and refinement will enhance the finished painting while preserving the immediacy of the live painting experience.
