An all-female group of 101 skydivers have broken a record in Russia for forming a flower in the sky.

According to the Independent, the group known as 'Pearls of the Sky' dedicated their formation to former captain Irina Sinitsina, who died during a skydiving stunt in California last year.

Only a year ago Sinitsina had led the team in an 88-person flower free fall formation.

In honour of Sinitsina, the team left one space empty to signify a 'missing petal', the report added.
