Woman found her husband on 'drunk taxi ride home' from Aintree

A Grand National racegoer found her husband on a 'drunk taxi ride home' from Aintree.

The woman, who spoke to the ECHO as part of a Facebook Live from Ladies Day, was enjoying the atmosphere at the famous racing event this afternoon. Cutting a classy figure in a royal blue dress with a matching fascinator, she laughed and joked with friends about her happy memories at the racecourse from over the years.

ECHO reporter Ryan Paton asked the racegoer about her beautiful blue ensemble, which was created by Liverpool-based designer Mark Melia Designs.

She paired the dress with a matching fascinator, pearl necklace and a big pair of glamorous sunglasses.

The woman then explains the quirky story behind her marriage, saying: "On a drunk ride home with my uncle James, he picked my husband and now I'm married to him! So I came out [of the races] with a husband three years ago."
