The money will go towards research projects supported by the charity, as well as support for people living with the condition.

Speaking after her challenge she said: 'It was a terrifying experience but I was really determined to push myself out of my comfort zone. 

'I know that the support Parkinson's UK provides to people with Parkinson's, as well as for their families and carers, is invaluable, and it's so important to fund the research needed to find better treatments for this devastating condition.'

She was joined for the wing walk by friend Sandra Meighan and Paul Jackson-Clark, director of engagement at Parkinson's UK.

Mr Jackson-Clarke said: 'We are really grateful to Anne for her continued support through fundraising and volunteering for Parkinson's UK.

'We want to say a big thank you to her and Sandra for taking on such a daring and nerve-wracking challenge for the charity.

'Their amazing efforts help us drive forward the groundbreaking research we urgently need to transform the lives of people affected by the condition.'

Parkinson's is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world and there is no cure. In the UK, around 145,000 people are living with Parkinson's. 

It comes after Harry hit back at claims that he's told pals he's in the running to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond.

Sources had told The Sun that the British singer, 26, met with film bosses about taking over the iconic role, with odds on him landing the role being slashed from 100/1 to 25/1.

But a representative for Harry has since told MailOnline that the reports 'aren't even remotely true.'
