Sir Jim Ratcliffe showed age doesn't have to be a barrier to fitness yesterday, after a spectacular performance at the London marathon.

The 71-year-old completed the 26.2-mile run in a time of just four hours, 32 minutes and 52 seconds.

His impressive time at the big event yesterday marked a personal best over the distance.

And after his run, he still had enough energy to race across London to watch his boyhood club Manchester United (in which he has a 25 per cent stake) play the second half of its FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
