QuoteThe sun was shining and the ensembles colourful, as racegoers, joined by a glamorous Zara Phillips, arrived for Ladies Day at the Glorious Goodwood race meeting in Sussex today.

But for once, all eyes weren't on the brightly dressed ladies - all thanks to an unexpected appearance from Hollywood star Tom Cruise who arrived with Charles Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Kinrara, and his wife, Janet.

Zara, meanwhile, slipped into the racecourse with a minimum of fuss, although not before impressing fashion fans with her chic cream dress and matching cocktail hat, and was later seen enjoying a chat with the actor from the comfort of a box.

Beaming broadly at other racing fans, the Olympic silver medallist, 32, appeared to be on top form as she arrived with a friend for a rare day off from the intense training schedule she is following ahead of World Equestrian Games in Normandy next month.
