NEWLY crowned Miss England Georgia Horsley donned some unique headwear yesterday to launch rail company GNER's racing sponsorship.

The beauty queen was at York Racecourse, where she swapped her crown for the hat showing train tracks in the shape of a giant flower and two GNER locomotives. It was made by York milliner Elizabeth Parker.

GNER is sponsoring the gner.co.uk stakes at York Racecourse on Thursday evening.

More than 13,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will feature Abba trib- ute band Bjorn Again.

GNER is also sponsoring race meetings in Newcastle, Mussleburgh and Doncaster this summer as part of its Go Racing programme.
