Market Rasen racecourse celebrates centenary

One of Lincolnshire's best-known sporting venues, Market Rasen racecourse is marking its centenary.

Although racing had been taking place in the area for almost a century beforehand, it wasn't until 1924 that a permanent course was established, with the first meeting taking place on Easter Monday in April of that year.

Some of the most famous horses to have been raced there include Red Rum and Tiger Roll, won the Grand National five times between them.
