The Grand National 2023 has officially begun and, as usual, the huge race meeting has kicked off in style.
While the weather forecast was mixed, it hasn't stopping racegoers from arriving dressed to the nines and geared up for a great day out. The heavy winds have not put anyone off what is one of the key events in Liverpool's social calendar.
Today (Thursday) kickstarts three full days of world-famous racing at Aintree Racecourse.
