Geraint Pugh, aka, Geriatric Taffy, has successfully completed the London marathon in a time of five hours and eight minutes.
The 66-year-old ignored pain from a groin injury sustained before the event, and then a hamstring pull during the run, to complete the 26 plus mile course.
The Shotley Parish councilor's incredible effort has raised at least £2,000 for the Phab charity, which helps youngsters.
