I attended the Friday of the 2019 Concours of Elegance held in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace, HRH Prince Micheal of Kent is the events Patron. This event now in its eighth year has been hosted at different locations in the UK, Windsor Castle in 2012, St James Palace 2013, Hampton Court Palace 2014, Palace of Holyroodhouse 2015, Windsor Castle in 2016 then Hampton Court Palace from 2017. The Concours brings together some of the rarest cars from around the world, some will have never been seen in the UK before. I spoke to Prince Micheal briefly, he described the event as "tremendous" before walking around to look at the cars on display.
The weather was not as good as it could be, but that did not put people off the event.
Below are the photo's I took at the Concours.

Speaking to other photographers, car owners and sponsors, all of them enjoy returning to this event year after year due to the event's atmosphere, backdrop and range of cars.
Owners when asked to were happy to show you inside their cars and the cars engines.
I highly recommend attending if you like cars as you get a wide range and some of these may not be seen again in the UK for a while.
I would like to thank the Curators, Liaison and Steering Committee for putting on a world class event and to Influence Associates for answering my questions and making the day go smoothly.
