Over 20 people abseiled 98 feet down Lincoln Cathedral to raise money for LIVES.
Volunteers from the charity made the daring descent from the cathedral’s bell tower during the morning of Saturday, July 28.
The event was part of the annual Everyday Heroes Week for LIVES, who provide first response aid to medical emergencies across Lincolnshire.
The amount raised is still being totted up.

BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s Melvyn Prior and Harry Parkhill were among the fundraising abseilers and LIVES’ new mascot Defibrillator Dan also attended the event.
It’s not the first time the charity has encouraged people to abseil as last year volunteers descended down the Brayford’s DoubleTree by Hilton hotel.

Residents have slammed a Home Office engagement meeting regarding its plans for the RAF Scampton asylum centre, labelling it “propaganda.”
The government agency scheduled two sessions at the Lincolnshire Showground for Thursday evening: the first targeted local residents identified as vulnerable by the Department for Health and Social Care, and the second was for local business owners. However, attendees left the meetings visibly annoyed.
Anyone who does a lap of Lincoln High Street will have noticed a number of odd tarmac fillings on the pedestrianised area, which stick out like a sore thumb given how they are weaved between brickwork and cobbled areas.
We have put these to the county council to find out why they have been done, and if we can expect them to return to a more consistent look in-keeping with the area.
