Although he was predictably exhausted, Alex was also delighted about the result and excited to be handed the official Guinness World Records certificate. Many scary movies have centred around witchcraft too, but witches aren’t the only scary character people have dressed up as to break a record.

As they crossed the finish line in The Mall, those who had been successful in setting a new record were presented with their certificates.

A total of 18 Guinness World Record titles were broken by those taking part in the London Marathon on Sunday, including the fastest marathon for a male dressed in pyjamas and a female in a toga.
