Badminton is packed already. With crowds of about 120,000 expected, traffic started streaming in early. Cross country starts at noon, but there was already a steady flow at 7:30 this morning. Riders are either walking the course, here’s Alice Fox-Pitt’s dog waiting while William paces out the striding in the lake one last time,
or choosing to hack their horses before the action starts.
