Hero's welcome for winning horse

Mon Mome won the Grand National with jockey Liam Treadwell

The Grand National winning horse and trainer have been welcomed home by more than 1,000 people.

Herefordshire-based Venetia Williams and her horse, Mon Mome, appeared at Hereford racecourse on Wednesday.

Miss Williams said Saturday's shock 100-1 victory by jockey Liam Treadwell on her horse had been "fantastic".

She said: "We won the double at Cheltenham on Thursday which I thought was the pinnacle, but there's no pinnacle beyond the Grand National."
