Aintree Grand National winning trainer Emmet Mullins returned to his Alma Mater, Cistercian College, Roscrea, with winning horse Noble Yeats last week.

Noble Yeats is the only 7-year old to have won the grand National in the last 80 years.

Emmet paraded the horse in the grounds of the school, where he received a great welcome from students and staff.

Everyone was delighted to come out and see the horse, which had conquered the famous Aintree course to win the Grand National in April.
