A professional boxer has abseiled 450ft down the i360 moving observation tower in Brighton.

Around thirty participants have been taking part, including boxer Chris Eubank Junior and an 85-year-old daredevil grandmother.

Thrill seekers have been descending from the glass pod viewing platform designed by the creators of the London Eye.

Funds raised will help pay for a new premature baby X-ray machine at the Royal Sussex County Hospital's Trevor Mann Baby Unit.

The event has been organised by the charity, Rockinghorse.
