Great-grandmother Pru Harding is celebrating a respectable third place in a testing yacht race around the British Isles.
Pru, 60, from Balcombe, near Haywards Heath, was the oldest woman to take part in the inaugural Round Britain Challenge, which finished in the early hours of Thursday.
Her yacht, the Daily Telegraph, finished third out of the eight boats which set out two weeks ago on the 1,800-nautical mile voyage around Britain and Ireland.
Pru and her 17 fellow volunteer shipmates pulled into Southampton harbour three-and-a-half hours behind the winning yacht.
Brighton insurance broker Andrew Springham, 39, and his yacht Team Spirit, were also cheered into port, despite finishing last, in eighth place.
