Does anyone know what happened to Pat Wright, the late starter in 1981 ? I would be nice to know if she finished.

At the end of this video we can see the BBC Video closing ident with the marching band fanfare and a copyright datestamp for 1982, followed by the blank tape fuzz.

I'm in there somewhere, eventually 1,992nd I think. Other than the days on which my two kids were born, still the best day of my life. Six months training with no injuries and no missed days and completing in a time a quarter of an hour faster than I had planned. 3.13.55.

Great time, I'm amazed you didn't come in a higher position, just shows the high standard back then of the average runner compared to today

A friend once told me that he overtook him in a London Marathon, but when he got to the finish "Mr Fixit" was already there !

I remember watching this first time around, great runs by the leaders but boy the cars and shoes look old, shame about Saville at full creep mode.

1981-obviously not very well prepared for the number of finishers with that small finish funnel. Imagine that today. Also the crowds were very close to the runners in many places

obviously an early iteration, not an african runner in sight
