Granny, 90, goes sky-diving

A woman celebrated her ninetieth birthday by sky-diving.

Grandmother, Mary Armstrong, jumped out of the plane at 12,000ft.

The widower plummeted at 120mph, strapped to an instructor. She was in freefall for more than 30 seconds before the chute finally opened at around 6,000ft over Ashford, Kent.

According to the Mirror she said: "It was lovely. It was a beautiful day for it and I can't wait to have another go."

It is Mary's third parachute jump in four years.

Mary, from East Moseley, Surrey, has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Her exploits have raised more than £1,000 for horse charities.
