The Grand National has been delayed after protestors gained entry to the Aintree race track ahead of the famous race.
ITV's coverage showed protestors from campaign group Animal Rising attempting to climb a fence, while others attempted to tie themselves to jumps.
ITV host Ed Chamberlain said: "My message to these guys would be, why today? What about the rest of the year? Come with us, we will show you how these horses are looked after. I saw Kevin Blake do an excellent interview with a protestor the other day and he said to the guy 'how many stables have you been to?' And he looked blank. Come and see, come and see the way these horses are looked after. The six star hotels, the love, the grooms the trainers, the owners give these horses."
