Manette Baillie, a 102-year-old military veteran, has become Britain’s oldest skydiver and broken the record for country's oldest parachutist.
The second world war veteran marked her birthday with skydive for charity in Suffolk. She jumped out of the plane over Beccles and  raised money for three charities, which she described as 'very dear to' her 'heart'.
Baillie has raised more than £10,000 of her £30,000 fundraising target.
Praising her initiative, Prince William wrote her a letter saying, 'Knowing you celebrated your 100th birthday by racing a Ferrari around Silverstone, we are not surprised.'
