Which celebrities made it over the finishing line in this year's marathon?
A host of celebrities joined thousands of other runners to raise money for charity in this year's London Marathon.
The couple who garnered the most attention were undoubtedly Katie Price and her hubby Peter Andre.
Peter proved to be the perfect partner when Katie twisted her knee after 18 miles, helping her up and pushing her on to the finishing line.
Peter himself seemed to be drawing inspiration from tragic Jade Goody with her name emblazoned down his arm, while Katie – who racked up £250,000 in sponsorship - donned a picture of her son Harvey, who is partially blind, on her bright orange T-shirt.
She said: 'There was no way in hell I wasn't finishing. I was in agony but [my son] Harvey's face on my T-shirt got me through. I'm proud of what I've achieved.'
The model, who has been training for several months for the 26.2 mile course, had to pull out of a celebrity polo event last week because of a knee injury.
