Would-be racegoers celebrated the Grand National Ladies Day in style from home today, as Aintree remains closed to visitors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Revellers dressed to the nines to mark the second day of the festival – usually one of the most popular racedays in the calendar – and posed for photos in their gardens.

Many sported glamorous summer dresses and slinky jumpsuits, while others went all out and incorporated an elaborate headpiece as they kicked off the weekend early.

One fan shared a snap of her tucking into a glass of fizz before midday, while another sported a VERY patriotic ensemble, fashioning a gown out of a Union Jack flag.

Taking selfies in bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms, the would-be attendees showed off their finest outfits online – which included feathered hats and stylish coats. 

Some opted for colourful floral ensembles as they marked the beginning of spring, while others donned stylish green gowns with matching headpieces as they also celebrated St Patrick’s Day.

Last year’s Cheltenham Festival was the last major UK sporting event to be staged just ten days before the UK went into lockdown, and attracted controversy over claims it acted as a super-spreader of the virus.
