"Running for Laughs: The Hilarious Moments of the London Marathon, 1991" In the bustling streets of London, amidst the excitement and determination of the marathon runners, there were moments that brought laughter to all. Tower Bridge became a stage for comedy as runners weaved through its majestic arches with quirky expressions on their faces.

Another participant sported an outrageous costume resembling Big Ben, struggling to maintain balance while navigating through the cheering crowd. But it wasn't just costumes that provided amusement; unexpected encounters added to the fun. As runners passed by Juno Beach exit adorned with a plaque honoring the brave 22nd Dragoons, they couldn't resist striking humorous poses next to it. Some pretended to be knights charging into battle or even reenacted scenes from Monty Python's famous "Holy Grail. " Tower Bridge itself seemed determined to join in on the hilarity.
