Tributes were paid to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Great North Run, where Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo and Kenya’s Hellen Obiri won the elite men’s and women’s races.

After multi-denomination faith leaders provided a “moment of reflection”, a minute’s silence was held and the national anthem played before the start of the elite men’s race and mass start run in Newcastle.
