My son and daughter were volunteers on the @stjohnambulance Medical Response teams at the finish lines of the Manchester and London Marathons yesterday. All the teams were extremely busy due to the gruelling heat in both cities. The volunteers deserve a massive thanks. 👏🏻
That was a brutal second (and probably last) marathon. Far too hot and running with a painful injury. So ended up slow but at least I finished. I think that’s what most people felt like today. Really well done to everyone who took part.
This brings back memories…. ⚽️🥛
In 2006, North West Tonight's Eleanor Moritz met Carl Rice, the star of 1989's memorable Accrington Stanley milk advert.

Thoroughly enjoyable day working with the talented next generation of journalists at @SportJournUclan
Many thanks to @ellymoritz for her voice and writing masterclass to our y3 students @SportJournUclan. “Get to the point quickly, and don’t cut and paste press releases.” Top advice before we start newsdays.
Great North Run number 2 for me. And I took a whopping 19 minutes off last year’s finish time. Chuffed to bits. Especially given all those hills! 🏃♀️. #GNR
Two legends. 📺
BBC regional news in the north west had several names 1957-1984. Finally, on 3rd Sept 1984, North West Tonight was born. To mark its 40th birthday, @mrgordonburns (presenter 1997-2011) has been chatting to me (2011-?). @BBCNWT on TV tomorrow at 1830.

Beccy joined our Service in 2019 following in her dad’s footsteps. She was a dedicated and courageous firefighter, and a warm and enthusiastic person who became an inspiration to many.
She is sadly missed and our thoughts remain with her loved ones, friends, and colleagues ❤

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our colleague and friend, Firefighter Beccy Barr.
Beccy was a dedicated and courageous firefighter who served with professionalism and compassion. She was an enthusiastic and warm person who became an inspiration to many.
I’m sharing the very sad news that Beccy passed away peacefully this morning. She spent her last few days at @SJHospice who provided the most dignified & compassionate care to Beccy & her whole family. Donations to the hospice can be made in Beccy’s memory. ❤️
The saddest news. Beccy’s smile lit up the room and people’s TV sets when she presented for BBC North West Tonight. She was an amazing woman who had us all in awe of her many achievements. Life can be so unfair. Thinking of her family. 💔

So just to say - amidst the congrats for me doing this - let’s be clear… I did it slowly. But do I feel a sense of achievement? Yes. So a shout-out to ALL those who did it - fast or slow it’s the same 26.2miles.
To whoever stole my son’s suitcase from the train he caught back to Manchester from uni today - thanks a lot. And apparently no cctv on @CrossCountryUK so no hope
of getting it back. @BTP
