Nan, 90, holds back tears on first ever trip to Grand National

A 90-year-old woman was on the verge of tears as she walked through the Aintree Racecourse gates for her first ever Grand National experience.

Sadie Edwards, a great-great-grandmother, held back the tears as she walked onto the racecourse for the first time in her life.

Speaking to the ECHO, Sadie's daughter, Kathy, said: "We come from around Ormskirk and we're here with my mum who's 90. That's the sole reason we came because she said 'I've got to go to Aintree before you know what'. Here she is and that's why we're all here."
