Thousands of runners took part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in central London.
The 13.1-mile route passed a number of well-known sights, with participants including club runners, charity fundraisers, celebrities and first-time entrants.
Spectators gathered along the course as the race made its way through the city.
Hosted by pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's, runners participating for over 800 different charitable causes have raised more than £75m since the London Landmarks Half Marathon began in 2018.
