Prince Andrew has abseiled down the Shard

Prince Andrew has completed his abseil down the Shard skyscraper in London on Monday to raise money for charity.

Nearly ÂŁ300,000 was raised, which will go to educational charity The Outward Bound Trust, of which the prince is chairman, and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.

The 52-year old royal said the most difficult part was stepping out from the 87th floor of Europe's tallest building.
