Worcester Cathedral bell-ringer thrown in air
A bell-ringer is recovering after being dropped in what's been described as a "freak accident" at Worcester Cathedral.
The ringing master at the cathedral, Mark Regan, gave a vivid account to BBC Hereford and Worcester of the moment Ian Bowman was flipped upside down.
Mr Bowman was lowered 80ft (24m) through a trap door in the cathedral by a specialist rescue unit.
The accident happened during Evensong on Saturday when the bell-ringing rope caught Mr Bowman's heel.
He's now back home in Devon and able to walk despite fracturing a bone in his back.
