A woman has shared the touching way she will be remembering her late friend at this year's Grand National Festival.
Sharon Reid, 56, and Tracy Lauront, 60, have travelled to Aintree from Warrington for the first day of the races. Tracey, who plans to put £1 on every race, said "it's a special occasion" to create memories.
But Sharon also has a special request to fulfil in memory of her friend who died and whose funeral is being held today.
