As the Grand National is about to get underway at Aintree Racecourse, it's fair to say the race has seen its fair share of big and dramatic moments over time.
The first Grand National was run in 1839 - but today it sees millions watch from across the globe. The Grand National three day festival this year begins tomorrow, April 13.
The second day of the festival on Friday is traditionally known as Ladies Day, when racegoers can let their hair down and the boldest fashions are on display. And the Saturday culminates with the Grand National race itself, the Liverpool ECHO previously reported.
