21 pictures of people who stole the show on Grand National 2019 opening day

Today marked the first day of Liverpool's most stylish event - the Grand National Festival.

Thousands of people attended today's race meeting at Aintree and as expected everyone upped the style stakes with suits, monochrome and pastel colours all on display.

Once again, it proved why Liverpool is the capital of style.

As always, the ECHO was on the course meeting racegoers and getting the insights into their outfit choices. Many even made a coat look stylish.

No matter the weather, those attending Aintree always ensure they have the best of times and these pictures prove it.

Below, is our round-up of the 53 people we spotted who stole the show during the first day of Aintree's Grand National Festival.

To stay up to date with everything that is happening at the racecourse throughout all three days, you can follow our live blog here.
