A brave Malvern headmaster has abseiled from the highest sculpture in Britain.

Alastair Cook, headmaster of The Downs Malvern Prep School in Colwall, was challenged by his pupils to abseil from the 260ft high Arcelormitall Orbit Tower at the Queen Elizabeth 2nd Olympic Park in London.

Mr Cook completed the challenge on Sunday, August 9.

Thanks to his efforts, and the support of the schoolchildren, he also raised £1,250 for Cancer Research UK.

Youngsters at The Downs Malvern will now decide whether to challenge him to wing walking or a parachute jump in 2016.
