A little earlier Kenya's Peres Jepchirchir broke the women's-only world record to win the women's race in two hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds.

Here's how she did it...

Around 50,000 people are still taking on the course.

This is the route they'll take...

Look at that, a British athlete on the podium again.

1. Alexander Mutiso Munyao (Ken) - two hours, four minutes and one second
2. Kenenisa Bekele (Eth) - two hours, four minutes and 15 seconds
3. Emile Cairess (GB) - two hours, six minutes and 46 seconds
4. Mahamed Mahamed (GB) - two hours, seven minutes and five seconds

That's all of the elite races done for the London Marathon 2024!

We'll continue to react to that but the main focus is now the masses and all of those emotional and tired bodies pounding the streets of London.

Don't forget you can watch for your friends and family on London Bridge on the watch & listen tab above.

I'm not sure Emile Cairess knows he's third. He'll be elated when he finds out he's on the podium. He's going to be representing Great Britain at the London Marathon.

What a run from Mahamed Mahamed!

Britain's Emile Cairess finishes third in the London Marathon! Compatriot Mahamed Mahamed holds his arms wide as he comes in not far behind in fourth.

They're both going to the Paris Olympics after that.

Emile Cairess has a decent buffer over compatriot Mahamed Mahamed.

They're not going to beat Mo Farah's British record but they won't be far behind.

What a performance from Alexander Munyao and what a return to form from the great champion Kenenisa Bekele.

Alexander Mutiso Munyao wins it. Kenenisa Bekele is second.

Now what about the British battle for third...

Emile Cairess looks tired now. Is he aware of the chasing teammate behind him? He wants to come in the top three.

Alexander Mutiso Munyao nearly goes the wrong way at the final corner!

He's still going to win this...

Steve Cram
Athletics commentator on BBC TV

Look at Munyao, even he has shortened his stride and is looking at his watch. There's not much evidence of this gap closing.

Alexander Mutiso Munyao is going to win this but Emile Cairess and fellow Briton Mahamed Mahamed are charging up behind.

Cairess is up to third!

We've got a new stream this year and it is based off a camera at Tower Bridge.

It will give you another chance to try spot your family, friends and colleagues that are taking part.

You can watch it in the 'watch & listen' tab on this page or on BBC iPlayer.

Happy spotting.

Munyao was trying to break Bekele and he's managed to do it at the first time of asking in this race. There's still a fair way to go so he needs to keep going.

Bekele was really starting to look uncomfortable in the last 500m.

Bad news for fans of Kenenisa Bekele...

Hopes of a popular victory for the 41-year-old look to be fading as Alexander Mutiso Munyao pulls clear along the Victoria Embankment.

It looks like the Kenyan has this in the bag.

1. Peres Jepchirchir (Ken) - two hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds
2. Tigst Assefa (Eth) - two hours, 16 minutes and 23 seconds
3. Joyciline Jepkosgei (Ken) - two hours, 16 minutes and 24 seconds

Mhairi Maclennan crosses as the best British woman in 11th place.

A fine effort in her first London Marathon.
