Somehow, Aintree managed to get permission to bury Red Rum (rather than just his ashes).  According to the BBC website he has been buried with his head facing the finish line - so that he is always first!

"I was very, very upset but I did what we planned years ago and managed to phone the clerk of the course at Aintree. Soon Rummy was on his last journey. Some time between 1.30 and 2.00 he was buried at the winning line on the Grand National course where he became a legend. The thought comforted me, to think of all those lovely horses racing over him to make glory days of their own."
