Redundancy received - pay off mortgage or not?

I have recently been made redundant and have £100k capital.
My outstanding mortgage is £69k (monthly payment £690) with 8 years remaining.
Should I pay this off? or is there a high interest account available to invest the £100k that will achieve a decent monthly/annual return to pay the monthly installments, still leaving a decent lump sum at the end of the mortgage term?

APR of mortgage - APR of investment = Whether worth investing
5.9% - 4% = 1.9% worse off (pay off mortgage)
5.9% - 6.9% = 1% better invest (dont forget after tax as well)I all have learnt is from others on many sites.
Seek legal help if unsure.
Dont pay Private Parking tickets - they are mere invoices.
