Grand National 2022: Behind the scenes at Aintree as final preparations are made

With less than 24 hours until this year's Aintree's Grand National Festival begins, Aintree racecourse is preparing to have the eyes of the world upon it.

The 2022 Aintree Grand National Festival kicks off tomorrow, April 7, and racegoers, runners and riders are getting ready for a big weekend. Before they can descend however, the racecourse and surrounding area must be perfect.

The famous event returns tomorrow - in person for the first time since 2019 - with NHS Day, a day to honour the efforts of staff during the coronavirus pandemic, and will run until April 9, when one horse will be crowned winner of the world's greatest steeplechase.
