Our Liverpool: Schoolboys' Grand National graft pays off

Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.

In heartwarming news two schoolboys struck profit after their idea to sell flipflops outside the Grand National to those whose heels were proving too much. Cole Fletcher and Ethan Dutton, 12, even offered racegoers a free plaster with their purchase, and were shared hundreds of times online for their graft.

Elsewhere, the funeral of Paul O'Grady will take place today, and fans have reportedly been invited to join a procession through the streets around his home down in Kent. Closer to home, we could see the streets of Birkenhead lined with dogs after one woman's "small idea" to line the streets of Birkenhead with dogs in his honour took off.
