A 60-year-old is running his 12th London Marathon on Sunday to raise money for needy children.

Geoff Millman, of Benstede in Stevenage, has raised more than £8,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital since he first ran the race in 1993.

Mr Millman, who works on the Jubilee line on the London Underground, said: “I’m donating to the charity because they does really good work there. They do lots of research and carry out life-saving surgery which helps an awful lot of children live into adulthood who would otherwise have died.”
