Jonnie Peacock 'honoured' to race Oscar Pistorius

Paralympic gold medal sprinter Jonnie Peacock has paid tribute to fellow runner Oscar Pistorius, telling the BBC's Stuart Hughes it was ''an honour'' to compete with a ''legend''.

The 19-year-old champion said the enthusiastic response to the Games from the public proved there is ''a gap'' for enjoying Paralympic sport.

He also described his delight at crossing the finishing line in front of his family and friends.
