Another memorable year at Aintree racecourse has come to a close after the 2022 Grand National Festival.
The Grand National hasn’t been held in person for the last few years due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the 2020 event cancelled and 2021 held behind closed doors. Since this was the first year back, expectations were high when it came to outfits and atmosphere.
The festival got off to a wet start on Thursday with heavy rain and hail before people had even started arriving, continuing into the day, before a brighter afternoon arrived. Friday proved much brighter with sunshine throughout despite the low temperatures, while Friday started off sunny before rain and hail arrived.
