Armed with a chocolate Hobnob and a head for heights, the ponytailed tea drinker leapt from a platform around 75m (246ft) above the ground to plant his biscuit into a tea-filled Union flag mug below.

230 feet he soared down, like a bird of prey, a peregrine falcon with a mouse in its piercing eyes, like Ezio towards the haystack, Simon Berry did not fall but rather flew towards his delicious destination.

The mug of tea remained still as Simon flew ever downwards, sitting, waiting, interminably waiting as Simon perpetually descended and then the two met, as arm extended into the frothing cup of tea, it is a remarkable brief encounter.
