A daredevil village pub landlady has raised more than £1,300 for a cause that’s very close to her heart.
Tina Leonard, who runs The Three Tuns in Doddington with husband Rob, completed a skydive in aid of Marie Curie.
She said: “This year is all about 10's for me.
“So on the 10th anniversary of my mum's passing, I honoured her memory by jumping out a plane at 10,000ft.”

Raising money for Marie Curie was an “easy choice”, she added.
“They helped us and mum in her very last days and we will be eternally grateful.
“They support so many people with end of life care.”
Now that she has had a few days to recover, Tina said: “I’m feeling fine.
“I have a couple of bruises on my legs but what an amazing experience.”
Her fundraising ventures aren’t slowing down, however.
Tina ran a 10k for the charity earlier this year and, in November, when she and Rob celebrate their 10th anniversary of running The Three Tuns, they will be holding a fun casino night to raise more money for the charity.
“To everyone who has already sponsored we thank you' and anyone who wishes to donate can do so by going onto my JustGiving page or popping into The Three Tuns.”
