Vicar abseils down his church for charity

A groom-to-be and a vicar from Dorset have abseiled down their church tower for charity. 

David Oakman was persuaded to take the plunge for Christian Aid by his fiancé and was joined by other locals for the challenge. 

Vicar at St Mary's in Gillingham, Revd Peter Greenwood, also decided to get in on the fun. 

He spoke to Marcus Jones on Premier's News Hour and told him about the moment he got a phone call from Christian Aid.
