A running club has paid tribute to one of its presidents – who has taken part in every London Marathon – with a Strava running route portrait. Bill O'Connor, of the Queens Park Harriers in Willesden, north-west London, was 35 when he took part in the capital's first marathon in 1981 and will be 79 when he takes part in Sunday's 26.2-mile race. Asked if running the marathon had got harder with the passage of time, the North Finchley resident told BBC London: "It got slower."

After the 15th marathon in 1995, Mr O'Connor and 41 others who had completed every marathon up to that point were granted a lifetime place – six of those people are still competing.
