Grand National 2023: Spot yourself in our crowd photos from Thursday at Aintree

The Grand National is officially back, and what a day Thursday has been.

Thousands of people descended upon Aintree Racecourse, dressed their best and hoping to win big. Tomorrow will see more racegoers turn out for Ladies' Day. And on Saturday, April 15, the headline event will see one horse will be crowned winner of the world's greatest steeplechase.

While the weather hasn't been the best, the strong winds definitely didn't put a dampener on people's spirits.
