A woman aged 95 is believed to have set a new world record as the world's oldest abseiler by descending 70ft (21m) down a Portsmouth office block.
Doris Long, from Hayling Island in Hampshire, was reclaiming the record she had originally set in 2006.
Asked if she would do it again she said: "I hope so, this time next year I hope, and after that and after that until I'm 100, then I'll retire."
Mrs Long was raising money for the Rowans Hospice in Waterlooville.
A large crowd, including local dignitaries, watched Mrs Long's descent at the Civic Offices in Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon.
