Karaman, Cyprus - A British pensioner marked her 100th birthday by setting what is believed to be a new world record on Wednesday after paragliding from the top of a mountain range in Cyprus.

Peggy McAlpine, who has seen the reign of five British monarchs and 26 prime ministers, leapt from a 760-metre peak in the Five Finger mountains in northern Cyprus for a 15-minute tandem flight.

"If no-one else wants a go, I'll do it again when I am 105," she said.

The pensioner from Stirling, Scotland, who bungee-jumped from scaffolding aged 70, was serenaded as she came into land by a bagpiper playing Scotland the Brave.

She was handed a glass of champagne on touch-down by her cheering fans who toasted her success in her bid to enter the record books by become the oldest person to paraglide.

It is hard to imagine what it would be like to be 100 years old, I bet she was a right little spitfire in her younger days, I think she is smashing

remind me of The Bucket List movie.
