Ms Gillard's feat has raised over 1,580 pounds for World Cancer Research.

The brave pensioner undertook the jump in memory of her daughter Kathy who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012, express.co.uk reported.

"To be honest, I was not even a bit worried, not one bit. The instructor talked me through how it would go and I completely trusted him," said Ms Gillard.

Ms Gillard said the fall before the parachute opened was a little nerve-racking just because it was so fast but as soon as the parachute opened "it was beautiful."

"I just floated down like a bird watching all the wonderful views as I went," she said.

El Diablo Ghost in Restaurant

Barbecue season is almost upon us, but one restaurant has out-done us all by cooking its food over an volcano.

Forget a portable barbecue in the park, the aptly-named El Diablo (the devil) restaurant in Lanzarote uses the 450 - 500 degrees Celsius of geothermal heat to cook the meat and fish on the menu. 

Set against the volcanic backdrop of  the Timanfaya National Park in the Canary Islands, the restaurant relies on the dormant volcano producing bursts of heat or hot vapour, which rise through a hole in the ground to brown the food placed over it on a cast iron grill.

The architects used nine layers of volcanic basalt rock to form the grill, and El Diablo's manager, Julio Padron, told ABC that scientists and volcanologists were 

consulted to check the unusual food cooking method was safe

Luckily there is little chance of the Timanfaya National Park erupting soon, with the last eruption taking place in 1824.

In order to withstand the heat of the volcano a non-conventional cooking system was designed by architects Eduardo Caceres and Jesus Soto. 

They used nine layers of volcanic basalt rock to form the grill, and El Diablo's manager, Julio Padron, told ABC that scientists and volcanologists were consulted to check the unusual food cooking method was safe.

The area is famous for its Fire Mountains, or Montañas del Fuego, which were created in the early 18 century when more than 100 volcanoes sprung up on the island. 

Panoramic views of the stunning mountains can be experienced while guests sample the food cooked by the volcano. 

Canarian food is served from midday to 3.30pm daily and it is advised to book early as the unique BBQ restaurant is popular with visitors to the area.
