Double Olympic and world champion Mo Farah was given a jubilant reception as he cruised to victory in the 3000metres at the Anniversary Games in the Olympic Stadium, London.
The Briton registered the fastest time in the world this year by winning the race in seven minutes 34.66 seconds.
Reflecting on his victory, Farah said that the crowd had been amazing, adding that he was pleased with his performance, the BBC reported.
The 32-year-old athlete was running his first race in London since doping allegations were levelled against his coach Alberto Salazar.
Although American coach Salazar had denied these allegations, Farah insisted that his coach would soon be providing evidence to make this clear.
Last month, an 'emotionally and physically drained' Farah had pulled out of a Diamond League meeting in Birmingham.
