Hen finishes third in marathon after night of partying

Bride-to-be Emily Marchant was determined to do something "memorable and different" as she prepares to marry her partner in four weeks.

And she did just that while on her hen weekend.

After a 03:00 BST finish on Saturday night, Ms Marchant completed the 26.2-mile Brighton Marathon course on Sunday.

Despite battling a hangover, she finished third in an impressive time of two hours and 58 minutes.

She said: "It was honestly the good vibes that just got me through it all."
