The first of thousands of racegoers have arrived at Aintree for the last day of the Grand National 2025 festival. As always, racegoers are dressed to the nines for the occasion, wearing bold hats, beautiful patterns and plenty of dapper suits.

Thankfully, the weather was on side today, Saturday, April 5, meaning many were allowed to ditch their heavy coats and show off their meticulously curated looks.

Our ECHO reporters and photographers are at the world-famous racecourse today to get all the latest updates from the vent and to capture beautiful photos of the crowds throughout the day. The first day saw many go for yellow outfits in various shades, including butter yellow, a pale pastel yellow and even some gold tons.

Yesterday, Ladies' Day, monochrome was the dominant style. Whether it was a dress split half white and half black, polka dots, or contrasting accessories, the trend was spotted at every turn. Who knows what trend will be today's choice?

While huge crowds are expected to descend on the racecourse, hoping to walk away with more money than they arrived with, 600 million people are always watching from home worldwide. Below are some of the arrivals first through the gates.
