Miss England 2008 presented the prize along with Eddie Jordan and Jockey Frankie Dettori (another reason why Frankie loves his job!) |
After taking to the stage for the preliminary round the final five girls were selected for the grand final which took place live on stage after a fantastic night of competitive racing.
Charlene Smith, Rati Kachwaha, Pia Nippard, Charlotte Lucy Hammond, Fern Haynes were selected for that final and looking absolutely gorgeous in their dresses took to the stage in front of an appreciative crowd.
A stunning Pia Nippard was crowned Miss Berkshire 2009 by Miss England 2008 (pictured with Eddie Jordan and Jockey Frankie Dettori).
Charlotte Lucy Hammond was selected as reserve with Rati Kachwaha in 3rd place.
Matthew Foxton-Duffy, Marketing Manager for Royal Windsor Racecourse said ”I am so proud of all of the girls, they have worked so hard to get here tonight and any one of them could have won. Pia is absolutely gorgeous and I am sure will do very well at the Miss England 2009 finals on 20th July in London.

"It was so close at the end, the final decision was made with about 5 seconds to spare!
“it was fantastic to have Laura Coleman here as well, Frankie [Dettori] was bouncing all over the stage and both he and Eddie Jordan did not need much persuading to go on to the winner's rostrum with her!”
“Eddie is back here on 15 June with his band “Eddie & The Robbers” and I have asked Laura to come back and watch him at work!”
Royal Windsor Racecourse's next race is on 18 May and Down under night is on 1 June with Bee Gees tribute Band 'Stayin Alive' playing after racing; grandstand tickets start from just £13.00 and are available on-line at www.windsor-racecourse.co.uk
