LONDON Marathon runner Colin Harvey shocked his girlfriend with a marriage proposal metres from the finish line.

He presented a ring to Tanya Moody, who hugged him from her position in the crowd before saying the magic word ‘yes’.

His girlfriend’s sister captured the moment on video.

Colin said: “It was a bit nerve-wracking but the thought of doing it helped me to get through the marathon. As soon as I saw them I jumped over the barrier and she said, ‘what are you doing?’ She couldn’t believe it and she started crying.”
