More than 35,000 participants took part in this year's London Marathon, including BBC newsreader Sophie Raworth. She ran on behalf of St John Ambulance, the charity whose volunteers assisted her during a collapse in last year's race.
Raworth completed the marathon without incident this year, describing herself as 'on top of the world' after the run. Last year, she collapsed during the event and was cared for by St John Ambulance volunteers.
The 2023 London Marathon saw thousands of runners raise funds for various charities, with Raworth's successful run marking a positive contrast to her previous experience.
