Yesterday’s London Marathon set a new world record for the number of finishers – overtaking New York’s previous best.

56,640 runners crossed the finish line in front of Buckingham Palace at the iconic race.

That’s nearly 1,000more than finished in New York last November.

Charities across SW London and Surrey have been revealing how much was raised from the event for their causes.

One, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home saw £118,000 raised from runners supporting the world-famous animal charity.
