There is an 'indefinite delay' to this year's Grand National after protesters managed to get onto the course. The race is set to be the biggest and best yet as the 175th running of the famous race, but there have been a number of protests.
Police estimated around 70-80 protestors from campaign group Animal Rising were at the entrance to the racecourse ahead of the day's action, where they were greeted by a heavy police presence, The Mirror reports.
When it does get underway, a field of 39 will contest the the world's biggest steeplechase at Aintree, with today's race anticipated to be the most-watched Grand National in history, Wales Online reports. But just before 5pm some protesters managed to break through the ring of steel to make it on the racecourse and tried to glue themselves to the second fence.
