Beat his target time by seven minutes - Andy Masterman.

London Marathon runner Andy Masterman is delighted after beating an already impressive target time of 3 hours 15 minutes by 7 minutes in the recent 26-mile event.

Andy, a crew manager at Goole Fire Station, said of his fourth marathon: "It was very tough and very warm but I did it.

"The atmosphere was absolutely superb. The crowd was five people deep - it was amazing."

Andy was raising money for the Fire Service National Benevolent Fund but does not have a final total yet.
