Andrew abseils for charity
Description
Prince Andrew abseiled down Europe's tallest building on Monday (September 3) for charity.
Andrew descended the Shard skyscraper in London, beginning his stunt from the 87th floor, just below the top of the 1,016ft tower - and finishing half an hour later on level 20.
The 52-year-old royal was one of around 40 people to lower themselves to raise money for educational charity the Outward Bound Trust and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
Donors have given more than £290,000 to sponsor Andrew, who is the Outward Bound Trust's chairman of trustees.
As a former Royal Navy helicopter pilot who served in the Falklands War, he said the Marines were especially close to his heart.
