Police London Marathon presence
THERE will be an increased police presence at the London Marathon this weekend in light of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Home Secretary has told MPs.
Theresa May said adjustments to security arrangements had been made to this weekend's race after the fatal explosions that tore through spectators watching the race in the United States on Monday.
Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, Mrs May said: "They've made some adjustments to policing. They've put in some increased policing for the marathon."
