Nick Rockett has been crowned the winner of the 2025 Grand National, with jockey Patrick Mullins producing a sensational performance to write his name into the history books.
Fans at Aintree packed out the stands in glorious sunshine to watch the action unfold.
And it was Rockett who ended up securing glory, with Mullins managing to fend off competition from last year's winner I Am Maximus to secure glory.
Owner Stewart Andrew has now scooped the £500,000 prize money as a result. The majority will go to him, with the remaining 20 per cent split between trainers, jockeys and stable staff.

It's a one-two-three for trainer Willie Mullins, with Grangclare West able to secure third.
Nick Rockett was a 33/1 outsider prior to the race. But Patrick Mullins produced a sublime performance to fend off the competition and establish himself on the biggest stage of all.
Speaking after his shock triumph, Patrick said: "I'm too out of breath to say anything. It is incredible.
"I got too good a start and had to take him back all the way but he jumped fantastic.
"It a dream from when I was a kid. When I was a kid I watched videos so this is very special.
"He's fine - I need a cold bath myself. He's not big but he is brave as a lion."
