Revellers who overdo the booze at Royal Ascot could end up in drunk tank

Revellers who overdo the booze at Royal Ascot could find themselves behind the ‘bars’ of a mobile drunk tank, it has been revealed.

With recent racing meets marred by outbursts of fighting, it is hoped the deterrent will bring relief to residents of Ascot who wish to avoid unseemly confrontations.

The pioneering new service will provide temporary accommodation for up to 50 racing fans to sleep off the booze in clear-sided six by two metre container mounted on a lorry.
