Sonia Watson

Available for over a year

A man who famously took six days to complete the London Marathon in a deep sea diving suit has revealed his costume for his final race. Lloyd Scott, from Theydon Bois, Essex, will dress as Captain Scarlet for the 26-mile event on 23 April. He said he chose the "indestructible" hero from his childhood after twice beating cancer - in 1989 and 2022. BBC Essex speaks to Lloyd about his preparations for his final marathon, as well as talking about his incredible fundraising experiences over the years - and surprising him with a few familiar people who he's helped along the way.
