Competitors at the Boston marathon held a moment of silence ahead of the start of the race to honour those killed and injured in a bomb attack last year.

Some 36,000 are taking part in the race, 9,000 more than normal, and 500,000 are expected to watch.

Officials have mounted a huge security operation that includes a ban on rucksacks and screening at checkpoints.

In last year's race two bombs exploded near the finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 260.

The BBC's Nick Bryant in Boston says that never before has the marathon been run amid so many layers of security
