Noble Yeats produced a stunning run to win the Grand National at Aintree - and no one celebrated wilder than the horse's groom.
In a fairytale finish for amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen, the 50-1 outsider cleared the final fence neck and neck with favourite Any Second Now at Aintree. The seven-year-old then accelerated away in a finale that will live long in the memory of the 70,000 sell-out crowd.
The scenes afterwards were emotional with Waley-Cohen paying tribute to his late brother, and father Robert fought back tears as he spoke to reporters. Meanwhile, trainer Emmet Mullins told reporters "this is the stuff of dreams."
