Watching the London Marathon






We love watching the marathon and this time chose to watch at the end by Westminster underground station. We first saw the elite women, then the elite men. Then had a brief interlude and had a delicious lunch at Westminster Grill, while we waited for the masses. We saw lots of St George (it was St Georges Day). Lots of wonder women and Mr Men characters. We saw world record attempts for carrying a tumble dryer on the back, and for the groups as an aeroplane and camel. We saw the couple that got married at the Cutty Sark on route and the Mind over Marathon team, which was featured on the TV recently on an inspiring programme. We love cheering on the runners and love it when they say thank you. We've never stood so close to the end so saw a few being helped by people either side of them.
