Thanks to all involved in the London Marathon. It inspired me to take part in distance events 20 years ago and I will try for next year's, both for my own sake and in a nod of appreciation to Brendan Foster, without whose honeyed tones the commentary won't be, can't be, the same.Dr Lindsay Easton

Men's marathon winner Daniel Wanjiru speaking to BBC Sport: "In the beginning the race was very fast and we were inside world record pace. It was the pace I was preparing for.

"As it was very fast anything can happen. We helped each other from the starting, talking and we tried to maintain that pace for half of the race. From there it was becoming tougher and tougher. 

"The sun was coming and the day was beautiful but we don’t need too much sun! The race was good for me. It was very comfortable (to be in world record pace)."

Here's the top three finish in the men's elite race:

1. Daniel Wanjiru (KEN) - 02:05:48
2. Kenenisa Bekele (ETH) - 02:05:57
3. Bedan Karoki (KEN) - 02:07:41

 And a really lovely moment for Great Britain's Robbie Simpson who is staring at the screen in disbelief - he has just finished in 02:15:04.  He spoke to BBC Sport about his desire to upset the odds in London.

We've seen four fine races today - watch the moment Mary Keitany crossed the finish line to break the women's-only world record.

The masses have made their way onto Tower Bridge and the atmosphere is incredible. The pavements are absolutely packed with spectators out in their forces. I've never heard a noise like it!

Wanjiru wouldn't have been the favouirte if you looked down the list today.

He showed in Amsterdam, when he won there, that he had massive potential. He's had a phenomenal run.

It's just a step too far for Kenenisa Bekele - Daniel Wanjiru finds that extra gear and he raises his arms above his head as he comes charging through the red tape!

An excellent race between these two races, and Wanjiru is first in with a cuddle as Bekele crosses the finish line. It's the biggest win of Wanjiru's career, and he looks absolutely delighted.

This is some final push from Kenenisa Bekele.

Daniel Wanjiru keeps glancing over his shoulder - still, Benkele is gaining on him. To come back from that. Has Benkele got enough for the sprint finish? Wanjiru has found a little bit extra as he turns the corner towards the finish line.

The gap between the two has gone from ten seconds, to nine, to eight - this is not over.

Bekele is close enough to strike now. Can he close the gap? Wanjiru is trying to win his biggest ever race.

A glance over his shoulder from Daniel Wanjiru shows Kenenisa Bekele is doing his best to close the gap between the two.

Wanjiru has extended his lead to ten seconds over the last 400m in response to the threat from Bekele. Both of them are reaching out to grab a last gulp of water before they reach the finish line.

I would love Kenenisa Bekele to win this today, it would be a fantastic achievement.

A couple of miles ago you wouldnt have given him tuppence for his chances! now, Wanjiru knows there is a race on.

He has Kenenisa hunting him down and Kenenisa's confidence must be rising.
