The London Marathon was first run on 29 March 1981 and has been held in the Spring of every year since.
This year one of our team, John Housden, was privileged to be a marshal at the event. John was situated about half way along the race, 14 miles into the race at Narrow Street watching as the 36,000 runners passed after they had set off from the starting line in Blackheath.
An amazing 700,000 spectators lined the streets in support of the runners.
