This is the story in photographs of the most dramatic moment in Grand National history - the collapse of Devon Loch 50 yards from home with the 1956 race in his pocket.

The racehorse Devon Loch was much-fancied to win the 1956 Grand National at Aintree.

After giving Dick Francis "the ride of my life" in the 1956 Grand National, Devon Loch landed over the last fence full of running.

There were also the famous losers - the most memorable being the Queen Mother's horse Devon Loch who inexplicably bellyflopped in front of the Royal box and 40 yards from the winning post in 1956.

Francis was romping home to victory on the Queen Mother's Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National when he made a bizarre half-jump and fell just 50 yards from the finish.

Sir Keir Starmer might want to acquaint himself with Devon Loch. Forty yards from the finish of the 1956 Grand National, the Queen Mother’s racehorse looked nailed on to win. But then he slipped.
