A steward remains in hospital with head injuries after he was kicked by a horse in a freak accident on the opening day of Royal Ascot.
The man, who was working at Ascot through a security agency, was knocked unconscious ahead of the second race, which was attended by the King and Queen. Spectators screamed in shock and feared for the man's life, when the two-year old kicked out its back legs while walking around the pre-parade ring.
Before being rushed to hospital, the injured steward was manning the stairs to the owners and trainers' restaurant.
