Cupid abseiled down the side of one of Bristol's tallest buildings as part of a romantic fundraising challenge.

He was joined by James Bond and a police community support officer who all dropped down the side of the 175ft Premier Travel Inn by the St James Barton roundabout to support a Bristol heart charity.

Some couples took the chance to abseil down the building together the day before Valentine's Day in support of the Heart of Bristol Appeal for the city's new cardiac centre.

Organisers hope the event will raise £3-5,000 towards an appeal to improve the environment of and buy equipment for the new Bristol Heart Institute, which opens in May at Bristol Royal Infirmary.

Andrew Monk, assistant director of Above and Beyond Charity took part.

He said: "It has been fantastic."

There will be a collection in the Mall Galleries on Saturday, asking for donations to fill a heart shape.
