Celebrities raise money for charity by running in the 2010 Virgin London Marathon

While we were sitting in our gardens, lying in the park or squashed up on a British beach somewhere trying to make the most of the weekend’s sun, people were out in their thousands running the 2010 Virgin London Marathon.

And while the Sunday weather quite literally rained on our tanning parade, celebs also decided to raise money by running in the charity event.

Princess Beatrice made a royal appearance running in a green tutu. She was joined by others including Michelle Ryan, Michelle Heaton, ex WAG Elen Rives and Natalie Imbruglia who all went for a more classic look of sporty leggings and tops.
