Before the start of the 2013 London Marathon, runners spent a moment of silence as a tribute to all the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Thousands of runners gathered at the Greenwich Park on Sunday, April 21. The London Marathon will be the first major event after the Boston explosion in less than a week.
It was an overwhelming show of determination for the people of London. Amateur and Professional runners were in attendance. Organizers provided additional security due to the unexpected turnout.

Some of the runners pinned black ribbons on their t-shirts while others carry "For Boston" banners.
Reports say that an estimated 650,000 spectators came to watch 36,000 participants of the London Marathon.
Runners will pass through the leafy Greenwich Park to the finish line on The Mall, a wide boulevard leading to Buckingham Palace.
