Not a sport for those with a fear of heights, the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series have taken place in Portugal with the UK’s Gary Hunt winning stage two of the contest.

The stunning yet draw-dropping high cliffs at Islet Vila Franca do Campo hosted a number of divers from around the world.

A sport not for the faint-hearted, divers plunge into the sea from a platform 27 metres high.
