Darts ref is flying high

A South Holland butcher and darts ref battled his fear of heights and completed a charity skydive.
Ian Tilley, who works at Vine House Farm in Deeping St Nicholas, even shouted “180” while preparing to leap from 15,000 feet through the skies over Durham.
He raised £3,200 for a prostate cancer charity.
“It was very emotional because it had been cancelled twice in the last 18 moths,” said Ian, of Spalding. He thanked everyone for their support in the run-up to the jump from Peterlee.
