Donations to a fund-raising page set up by a 30-year-old woman who collapsed close to the London Marathon finish line have surged since her death.

Claire Squires, a hairdresser from North Kilworth, Leicestershire, collapsed near Birdcage Walk on the final stretch of the 26.2 mile course.

Thousands of people made donations on Monday, raising more than £100,000 for the Samaritans charity by 19:00 BST.

Ms Squires was the 11th participant to die since the event began in 1981.

On her JustGiving fund-raising page she had said: "I'm running the London Marathon for Samaritans because they continuously support others."

Paramedics attended to her but she died at the scene, marathon organisers said.
