Paper Crown Contest

The British people are famed for their daft world record attempts, and the Jubilee is proving tempting bait

As arrangements gather momentum for the long Jubilee weekend, royal preparations of another sort are underway – the Guinness world record attempt for the ‘most people wearing paper crowns across multiple locations’.

Organised by the Camping and Caravanning Club, the crown-wearing contest wil be taking place at every one of the club’s campsites on Monday 4th June.

For those who have forgotten their crowns, paper crowns will be provided at each site.

I know, what a relief, right?
