A TEAM of 'dragons' has raised more than £6,500 for charity by taking part in one of the UK's highest skydives.

Around 25 brave jumpers took to the skies at Dunkeswell, Exeter, on October 5 in aid of Cornwall Search and Rescue and Samaritans.

The event was organised by Pete's Dragons. The charity was formed in 2010 when Peter Wicks took his own life at 24 years old.
