An amputee Army veteran made a dramatic arrival for his wedding as he parachuted into the grounds of a 14th century castle along with his groomsmen.
Chris Parkes, who lost a leg while serving in Afghanistan, skydived into Langley Castle, in Hexham, for the big day before exchanging vows with bride Pippa.
The 34-year-old, from County Durham, said he and his nine groomsmen had trained for six months just to be ready for the jump and he admitted that it was "infinitely more stressful" than the wedding.
