Grand National racegoers will notice a change to the dress code this year, and there are a number of things people will not be allowed to wear.
Back in February, The Jockey Club said dress codes would no longer be in place at any of its 15 racecourses, including Aintree. The removal of dress codes comes as the club aims to make events more comfortable and accessible for racegoers.
A statement issued by The Jockey Club's Chief Executive Nevin Truesdale at the time read: "We are encouraging you to dress as you feel most comfortable and confident on race days, as part of our commitment to make the sport as accessible and inclusive as possible and in line with the large majority of other sports.

"Of course, that does not mean we are discouraging you from wearing your favourite suit or dress or reaching for the most glamorous item of clothing for a day at the races if you wish.
"We are just keen to ensure that your enjoyment is not impacted by whether you can only stand or sit in a certain place based on your choice of clothing. All we do suggest is that you bear in mind the good old British weather when picking your outfit!"
While there is no dress code in place across any of the days of the festival, racegoers are not allowed to wear offensive fancy dress outfits or offensive clothing of any kind.
Replica sports shirts are also banned from the racecourse.
