Family tribute to marathon woman Claire Squires

The family of a 30-year-old woman, who died running the London Marathon for the Samaritans, say they have been comforted by the huge amount of support they have received.

Claire Squires, a hairdresser from North Kilworth, Leicestershire, collapsed during the final stretch of the race on Sunday.

Her brother-in-law James Birrell described her as "one-in-a-million" and said she was always doing things for others.
