A World War Two veteran claims new skydiving record

A 101-year-old has broken the world record for sky diving. D-day veteran, Bryson William Verdun Hayes, completed his jump at 15,000 feet in tandem with three generations of his family including his son, Bryan (74), his grandson Roger (50) and his great-grandson Stan (16) at an airfield in Honiton, Devon.

He explains how he is very proud of his accomplishment and confesses he's always been a bit of a "daredevil".
