    It's quite amusing.

    Kipchoge is stood standing tall, standing strong. The time is irrelevant, it's a victory he will savour against the greats. Superb performance from him. Wore them down one by one, a fast, fast pace early on.

    I have never seen Mo Farah look this tired before, of course that's to be expected. He will be lapping up this support. He is exhausted.

    This is the first time Farah has taken on the big boys seriously in a marathon. This is about as tired as Mo could have ever felt in his whole career. It was a battle against his fatigue, the distance and the clock. That's more than job done.

    Elite men's race

    Mo is done. Absolutely spent.

    He lies down on the tarmac and his legs are completely jelly.

    Farah's taken the British record and done it with a minute to spare. Beautiful.

    What an athlete.

    Eliud Kipchoge, the Olympic champion, wins a third London Marathon title in 2:04:16.

    Such a cool operator.

    Kipchoge finishes just over 30 seconds ahead of Tola Shura Kitata of Ethiopia.

    Here comes Mo Farah...

    Elite men's race

    Eliud Kipchoge doesn't even look like he's broken a sweat. He's so straight faced.

    The Kenyan's got an 11-second lead at the 40km mark and has a predicted finish of 02:04:03 - two minutes off the world record.

    He looks to be moving a little bit better than he was a mile back and I think the crowd are playing their part in lifting Mo Farah towards the end of the race here.

    Elite men's race

    Mo Farah's getting huge cheers from the crowd as he comes towards the 40km mark.

    He's battling to hang on to third place, and has a quick glance over his shoulder to see what's behind him.

    Elite women's race

    She said before the race she desperately wanted to go under 2:30:00, and she has done that. It's been a long road back for Lily and she has suffered with injuries before, but she's worked hard to get back into shape and she has just smashed her personal best.

    Well done Lily Partridge.

    Elite men's race

    Just over four miles to go in the men's elite race and Eliud Kipchoge is just relentlessly powering over the tarmac of central London. We didn't expect to see Tola Shura Kitata keep pace with Kipchoge but for now the Ethiopian is hanging on to the back of his bright orange running shorts.

    Farah is now way back in third and just about on time to claim that British record.

    Sandeep Chauhan's fiancee, parents and brother will be cheering on from the sidelines as the 38-year-old runs his first London Marathon (and first ever marathon).

    In May 2015, Sandeep was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, a condition that also runs in his family.

    He decided he was going to do everything he could to get fit and not let diabetes get the better of him, joining Kimberley and District Striders running club.

    "The London Marathon is the first step in a lifelong battle to control my diabetes," he says.
