A woman from Cheshire who struggles to walk following a spinal injury has abseiled down Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium.

Trish Brookes from Crewe was injured in an freak accident almost three years ago when she slipped in the bath.

On Monday the 51-year-old abseiled 100ft (30.5m) down the main stand at Anfield.

Ms Brookes, who has previously swum with sharks, said she wanted to raise money for charity and show that there is life after spinal injury.

In July 2021, Ms Brookes fell onto the taps in her bath after slipping while washing her hair under the shower.
