Conor McGregor makes sure everyone notices him arriving at the Grand National

Conor McGregor was one of the many patrons arriving at Aintree Racecourse ahead of the Grand National on Saturday afternoon – though few will have made as loud an entrance as the MMA star.

The man who is gunning for fight with undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather is keeping the spotlight firmly on him and his entourage.

On one of the warmest days of spring so far in 2017, McGregor took the opportunity to wear his shirt unbuttoned, but was untroubled by the blazing sun as he wore his shades flipped up.

It's unclear how many of Aintree's dress code stipulations McGregor is flouting, but with his cream trousers and silver shoes the fighter defied anyone to stop him as he made his way onto the course.
