Cheltenham festival in pictures: Gold Cup day

Inothewayurthinkin has won the Gold Cup at the final day of the Cheltenham Festival.
General admission for the Gold Cup has sold out, with nearly 70,000 spectators gathered at Prestbury Park.
The total attendance for the week is expected to pass 200,000, after some lower-than-expected attendances in the week. About 15,000 of today's spectators arrived by train at Cheltenham Spa.
Galopin Des Champs came second, failing in his bid to become only the fifth horse to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times.
