Greg James takes to skies with Red Arrows

BBC Radio 1's Greg James described flying above the clouds with the Red Arrows as "the greatest thing I've ever done".

As part of a Children in Need Challenge, Mr James flew with Sqn Ldr Jon Bond from The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.

Pudsey challenged Mr James to take to the skies as part of a Challenge Yourself initiative to raise money for the charity.
