London Marathon: Youngest and oldest female runners

Hundreds of extra police officers will be on duty at the London Marathon later in a bid to reassure runners and spectators after the Boston bombings.

The BBC's Luisa Baldini spoke to the youngest and oldest women participating in the race.

Iva Barr, 85, and Alicia Forsyth Forrest, 18 are both running for charity.
