Grand National Bomb Scare 1997 Full Coverage

Not a great day for punters: long priced winners in the three opening bouts followed by a coded bomb warning and racegoers were forced to evacuate before the big race was run. Emotional scenes from Jenny Pitman whilst Des Lynham remains 'unflapped' even when given the sternest warning from the clerk of the course Charles Barnett that even the BBC must leave the course.
