Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic spaceflight will fly the first ever paying customers to the edge of space today.

The firm is aiming to make these kinds of spaceflights a monthly occurrence, with seats priced between $250,000 (£191,000) and $450,000 (£344,000).

Those joining the flight include an 80-year-old former Olympian with Parkinson's disease and a mother and daughter duo who won their tickets in a sweepstake.

Taking off from New Mexico, Galactic 02 will take the three passengers 50 miles (80km) above Earth.
