Members of the Royal Family looked on as the pair helped the struggling runner reach the end of his race.
As a BBC commentator notes in the clip: "You can see Prince William and Prince Harry looking out just in disbelief at what they're seeing there— the camaraderie, which is what the London Marathon...is all about."
