Prince Harry Is Still Attending The London Marathon Despite The Tragedy In Boston

With the aftermath of the Boston Marathon tragedy hurting everyone across the nation, Prince Harry still plans on attending Sunday’s London Marathon.
More security has been called for London’s marathon, and while Harry is going to be presenting the medals, he is NOT backing down from his duties.
The event organizer’s took to their Facebook to write:

“We are deeply saddened and shocked by the news from Boston.
Our immediate thoughts are with all the people there and their families. It is a very sad day for athletics and for our friends and colleagues in marathon running.
We fully expect that Sunday’s race, Registration and associated events will go ahead as originally scheduled.
We are currently reviewing all our security arrangements with the Metropolitan Police and we will post the latest information on all the events through twitter, facebook and emails.”

And with that said, a palace spokesperson noted:

“We announced last week that Prince Harry would attend this year’s London marathon in his capacity as Patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust, and that he would make the presentations to the winners and meet a selection of volunteer and support staff. As things stand we are not aware of any changes to that plan but ultimately we will be directed by the Race organizers.”

We’re truly hoping that nothing bad happens at the London Marathon.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Boston and those affected by this horrible tragedy.
