A man who died after colliding with another man while skydiving has been named in reports as Patrick Sandeman, one of Britain’s leading wine merchants.

Sandeman, who was said to be aged 53, was a partner in Lea & Sandeman, the fine wine merchants.

He reportedly collided with a man who is believed to be a 28-year-old Frenchman at Sibson airfield, near Peterborough.
