In pictures: Fontwell Park celebrates its centenary

The West Sussex track’s Centenary Raceday featured a seven-race card and plenty of off-track entertainment, including a history exhibition telling the story of 100 years of racing at the unique course, a dinner for invited guests and dancers and musicians entertaining race-goers.

See Clive’s pictures on this page and the ones linked – or by scrolling down the page if you’re on the Observer app. And in the video player at the top of this page, see and hear former Fontwell chief Phil Bell – now regional director for the course’s owners Arena Racing Company – talk about his time at the track and his delight at seeing it turn 100.

Read a report of the day and see an interview with Fontwell boss Guy Pridie here and see Jim Beavis talking about the exhibition here along with an article in which Jim outlines a potted history of Fontwell Park.
