Prince Harry will be awarding medals to the London Marathon champions Sunday. He said there was no hesitation to come out to the race despite the tragedy that ended the Boston Marathon six days ago.

"The way that Boston has dealt with it has been remarkable and I think the reaction here has been typically British," Prince Harry told the BBC on Sunday. "People have been saying that they have not seen crowds like this for years. The thing about the marathon is no matter what color you are, what religion you are, you people come together to raise money for so many worthy causes.

"It was never an option not to be here."
