The 32-year-old royal, who is the patron of the annual sporting event, was on hand to give the two champions their medal and trophy after they won the gruelling event, which took place in London on Sunday (23.04.17).

A photograph of the flame-haired hunk beside the two winners, who were clasping their gongs, has been shared on the Kensington Palace Instagram account.

The sweet post read: "Prince Harry, @LondonMarathon Patron, presented Great Britain's David Weir, who won the Men's Wheelchair race and Switzerland's Manuela Schar who won the Women's Wheelchair race today #LondonMarathon (sic)."

They tweeted: "Prince Harry is presenting medals to the Elite Men's, Women & Wheelchair winners on the finish line on The Mall. #TeamHeadsTogether (sic)."

But not only did Harry honour the winners, but he also presented the Lifetime Achievement award to olympian Brendan Foster - who received the bronze medal for the 10,000 metre run during the 1976 Summer sporting extravaganza and has set up the Great North Run.

The social media site shared: "He is also presenting the lifetime achievement award to Brendan Foster, an Olympian & founder of the Great North Run. #Teamheadstogether (sic)."
