Gran, 90, takes to the skies after raffle win
When 90-year-old Barbara Brookes took part in a raffle she had no idea it would lead to her soaring the skies in a glider.
The adventurous grandmother from Lutterworth headed up into the clouds in the passenger seat on Sunday and said the view over Leicestershire was breathtaking.
After winning the top prize in the Lutterworth mayor's annual Christmas charity raffle she decided to also use the experience to support three local charities and has raised more than £2,100.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester's Ady Dayman spoke to Barbara and Rob Barsby, from Aerosparx, who got her up in the air.
