London Marathon co-founder John Disley has died aged 87.

Mr Disley passed away in hospital early this morning after a short illness, said a spokesman for London Marathon Events.

He had remained an active member of the London Marathon family throughout its 35 years, even presenting Paula Radcliffe with her lifetime achievement award, named after Mr Disley, after her final appearance in last year’s race.

A London Marathon statement said: "In tandem with the Marathon’s founding race director, Chris Brasher, John helped create from scratch the race that can proudly claim today to be the world’s greatest marathon. 

Mr Disley, born in North Wales, was a distinguished athlete in his own right, claiming the bronze medal in the steeplechase at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki and setting five British records in the steeplechase, and four at two miles.

A "fan" who bombarded BBC presenter Alex Jones with tweets declaring he was in love with her has been barred from Broadcasting House. 

Shane Goldsmith, 44, hounded Miss Jones, 38, for 17 months, sending her a string of public messages on Twitter and waited outside the BBC headquarters in Portland Place, London, for the host of The One Show numerous times to tell her he loved her. 

Senior district judge Howard Riddle imposed a restraining order at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday banning Mr Goldsmith from having any contact with the Welsh TV star, her partner Charlie Thomson or her parents Alun and Mary Jones. 

He is also barred from going to Broadcasting House or any other place Miss Jones works or lives. 

Goldsmith, of no fixed abode, was formally cleared of a single charge of harassment between April 2014 to September 2015.

At the start of his speech at today's police bravery awards, Sir Bernard referred to media speculation that Operation Midland - the investigation into an alleged paedophile ring involving establishment figures - had badly dented his chances of being given a longer extension.

After receiving warm applause from the packed room, he said this was a "very special event - the first gathering of the appreciation society for the Daily Mail."

He continued: "We won't be having another event."

Sir Bernard - whose leadership has been questioned by a number of newspapers - then singled out a Daily Mail reporter in the room, telling him: "It's not your fault - but you're the only available target we've got."

Home Secretary Theresa May - who will ultimately decide on Sir Bernard's future - was also at the awards.

She steered clear of talk on the commissioner's future. She told the police officers in the room: "You're doing a wonderful job."

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said he hopes Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe remains as Metropolitan Police Commissioner.

Sir Bernard has faced growing calls to apologise over the way the force has handled allegations of historic sexual abuse against senior public figures.

As he finished a speech at a police bravery awards ceremony in central London earlier, Mr Johnson said: "It's over and out from me as your Mayor very, very shortly as Sir Bernard was kindly pointing out, but I certainly hope it isn't over and out from him."

Only a fortnight ago Boris Johnson recommended Sir Bernard's contract - which runs out in September - be extended by just one year. The commissioner had previously told BBC London he wanted at least an extra two years in the job.

The mayor has been among those calling for the Met to apologise to Field Marshall Lord Bramall after he was told he'd face no further action over allegations of historic child abuse.

Today the mayor struck a different note, praising the hundreds of Met officers at the ceremony for pursuing allegations of wrongdoing  "without fear or favour - towards anyone - no matter how powerful they may be", and that included arresting MPs.

Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has told the Transport Committee he hopes a decision on whether to expand Heathrow would be made before the summer recess in July.

He also defended David Cameron's "no ifs, not buts" promise not to expand Heathrow back in 2009. 

Mr McLoughlin said the proposal Mr Cameron objected to in 2009 was a different proposal to the one recommended in the Davies review.

A mystery suspect in the multimillion-pound Hatton Garden raid is an ex-policeman, it has been claimed. 

The thief known as was also the brains behind the £14 million heist, according to a letter written by fellow gang member Danny Jones to Sky News. 

Last month the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad issued an urgent public appeal for help in tracing Basil and the missing two thirds of the loot, which included gold, diamonds and sapphires.

In excerpts from the letter, Jones, 60, who is at Belmarsh Prison awaiting sentencing, wrote: "I can say that someone told me he (Basil) was an ex-policeman who got into security by the guy who introduced him to me. "

Jones went on to say he did not know Basil's real identity, and if he did he would not tell as "it's not a done thing where I come from". Scotland Yard declined to comment on the claims.

The Transport Secretary has insisted his decision to delay a decision on Heathrow expansion was nothing to do with the timing of the London mayoral election. 

The Transport Select Committee is questioning Patrick McLoughlin on the issue this afternoon. 

The government was supposed to say what it would do about airport expansion before the end of 2015 but announced in December it would push a decision back to summer of 2016.

The Tory mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith is opposed to Heathrow expansion and had said he would resign as an MP in Richmond Park if Heathrow were given the go-ahead.

Mr McLoughlin told the committee that the decision to delay, was taken because of environmental concerns and was nothing to do with the mayoral election...

London's A40 Westway could feature a segregated bike route according to detailed consultation plans for the capital's "cycle superhighways".

What do people who use the road at the moment think of the idea? BBC London's Tom Edwards went to speak to drivers and cyclists.
