A jilted bride who went ahead with her hen do wearing her wedding dress was left in tears when she was ridiculed by punters at a race course Ladies' Day. Claire Bell, 42, decided to still have her hen party after she was dumped by her boyfriend of six years just four months before their wedding day. Along with 12 friends, Claire took a coach to Chester Racecourse and wore her big white dress so she could feel like a bride. But what should have been a positive day full of smiles turned to tears when Claire was bombarded with negative comments from other race-goers.
00:00So to all the people at Chester races that have told me I look stupid, that have pointed and laughed at me, not only that have pointed and laughed at me, but to the girl and boy that came to me and said I look stupid
00:30Like who would wear a wedding dress to the races, but I do know why I'm wearing a wedding dress, just came over and told me I look stupid
00:40I want to let you know that I'm wearing this wedding dress as someone that was trying to empower themselves
00:48Oh no
00:50I was trying to empower myself after being dumped four months before the wedding
00:58This was always going to be my hen do
01:01So I decided for the hen do to wear my wedding dress
01:05Because I bought her to wear her
01:08But I didn't expect to go here and have people make a beeline for me to tell me I look stupid
01:16For people to laugh and point at me
01:20And then for me to be in a queue behind people telling me someone needs to tell her she looks ridiculous
01:28Like why would you do that, why wouldn't you just build somebody up, even without knowing the story why I'm wearing the dress
01:38Why would you even go to somebody to tell her they look stupid
01:43Because even if I wasn't dressed like this
01:45Anybody coming to me to tell me I look stupid would not be nice
01:50So I'm with all my hens who are building me up
