The Grand National has been delayed after disruption from animal rights activists at Aintree racecourse. The start time of 5.15pm has been pushed back after confirmation of an "indefinite hold".
More scenes screened on TV appeared to show some activists on the course itself, with suggestions from those speaking on ITV that some had been hiding in the fences. There were claims that activists were trying to "glue themselves" to the obstacles.This morning, protesters gathered outside the course ahead of the final day of the race meeting, with police making several arrests during that part of the day.
Nathan McGovern, a spokesperson for Animal Rising, had said: "We do plan to be periodically blocking Ormskirk Road, the access road to the front of the racecourse, to disrupt the entry to the venue throughout [Saturday]. "And all of this is before the race even starts. We will not be entering the track if there are horses and jockeys riding."
