Breathtaking footage shows the moment a group of 41 skydivers set a new British record by joining in formation 15,000ft above the ground.

The team of jumpers combined to create the largest ever sequential formation dive to take place in the UK - and then broke their own record two jumps later.

Incredible video shows the moment they joined hands while free-falling at 120mph above the Nottinghamshire countryside.

Divers created two consecutive shapes in the sky and then formed three formations two jumps later, breaking the record they had just set.

The record took three jumps to complete and included British national champions, world champions, world record holders, coaches and skydive instructors.

The team of thrill-seekers jumped from three separate aircraft flying side-by-side at 15,000 feet last Wednesday (12/7).
