A British man has died in a gliding accident in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountain range.
The 75-year-old was hurt after hitting trees close to the runway as he landed at the Santa Cilia aerodrome near the northern Spanish city of Jaca.

Local reports said he was alive for about 40 minutes after the accident but was pronounced dead at the scene after losing consciousness and going into cardiac arrest.
