The Jockey Club today sent an open letter to the people of Liverpool thanking them for their continued support of the Grand National.
Regional director of Aintree Racecourse, Dickon White, shared the letter with The ECHO expressing gratitude to the city for the way people pulled together on the day of the big race.
It comes after the National was delayed by animal rights activists who tried to scale fences around the course perimeter. Police arrested 118 people on suspicion of criminal damage and public nuisance offences.
