Some 60,000 people joined a minute's silence for the Queen at the start of the 41st Great North Run.
There had been questions about whether the run would go ahead on Sunday but organisers said it would be held in tribute to the late monarch.
The national anthem was played for King Charles III ahead of the start of the race.
Here are a selection of pictures from the Newcastle to South Shields half marathon.
