The celebrity chef, 89, perfectly paired her belted blue dress with her hat and accessorized with pale nude pumps and a nude clutch.

He put his arm around Abby, who paired her sleeveless white dress with a beautiful pale pink hat with matching flowers.

Also at the races was Celia Imrie, who looked lovely in a gray jacket and blue hat as she looked out the balcony.

Celia, 71, is known for her roles in The Second Best Marigold Hotel, Mamma Mia! and the Bridget Jones series.

She will reprise her role as Una Alconbury in the fourth and final Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, due for release in 2025.

Mary’s granddaughter Abby is the daughter of former Bake Off star Thomas March’s second child, who was born in 1968.

Mary has two other children with her husband Paul Hunnings: Annabel, 52, and her older brother William, who died aged 19 in 1989.

She has been married to Paul, 92, for almost 60 years. She previously worked for a sherry brand, Harvey’s of Bristol, and sold antique books throughout her career.

Although her mother died at 105, Mary admitted she might not get there, as doctors warned her she would die within four years if she didn’t start exercising.

Since then, the baking legend has adopted croquet and swapped his meat for much healthier salmon.

Abby carried a deep straw bag and matched her two flat shoes and the women posed on the grass.
