Silence: London runners pause to remember the terrible events in Boston, where bombs killed three people and injured more than 100.(CNTV)

Tens of thousands of runners have taken part in the London Marathon, many with black ribbons on their vests in honour of the victims of the Boston bombings. Hundreds of extra police officers were drafted in as part of an effort to step up security.

Seconds of silence in tribute to the victims of the Boston bombing…

Inevitably, as the runners teemed over the marathon start line in bright spring sunshine, there remained clouds of doubt hanging in the air.

"I was always going to run today but obviously, after what happened, it was so shocking and sort of terrible to see, so it does run through your mind - Is the same thing going to happen here today?”
