The first day of the Aintree Grand National festival 2022 kicked off in style with people determined not to let the bad weather ruin their fun.
While the sky was overcast and somewhat rainy, it didn't stop racegoers arriving dressed to the nines and hoping they'll win big. One of the key events in Liverpool's social calendar, the opening day of the Grand National Festival 2022 begins three full days of world-famous racing.
But for many, it's the fashion that is the main attraction - with stylish men and women often spending months planning their outfits in advance. ECHO reporters are out on the course for all three days of the festival - and managed to spot some incredible outfits just within the first few hours.

Since the weather isn’t looking like it's going to warm up anytime soon, many guests made the choice to wear a coat this year - an unusual choice if past years are anything to go by. Others opted for boots instead of heels this year too, another choice that no doubt comes down to the wet weather.
