While watching the marathon very early on Sunday morning with my friend and her grandchildren on Marine Parade, it was so kind of a gentleman who came out of his flat with two cups of tea and chocolate biscuits for us.

Many thanks. It was much appreciated and there was a true community spirit among people.

Well done to all the runners, helpers and organisers, a fantastic event and a great deal of money raised for charity. Long may it continue.
