Inspirational Margaret O’Neill, a soon-to-be great-grandmother, says that falling through the air at 125mph was “relaxing”.
She took to the air in a tandem jump with “90 and still flying” written on the palms of her hands.
Video footage shows Margaret sitting on the edge of the plane at 12,000ft, waiting to jump out as her instructor then leaps into the air and the pair hurtle towards the ground.
There was more to the skydive than just the thrill of the jump, as Margaret raised more than £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of her childhood sweetheart and beloved husband, Eddie.
Scottish-born Margaret, who now lives in near Faversham, Kent, said: “My husband died about 15 years ago and in the last few weeks of his life, the Macmillan nurses would come in at any time of the day or night when he needed them. They are fantastic.
