Sky divas!

Daring grans' 15,000ft leap

THIS is the moment two adventurous grandmas jumped from a plane to raise money for their care home.

Joan Small, 85, came up with the idea of a sponsored skydive — which staff thought was a joke.

Liz, who is originally from Australia, said: "We both have had good lives but at our ages it was an experience we thought we would never get again so we might as well go for it while we could.
