HULL: Schools in the city which took part in the world record for the most people singing a song simultaneously are being urged to return their witness statement forms.
The youngsters helped break the sign2sing Guinness World Record, which was organised by the charity SignHealth.

"So we're calling for all schools from the Hull area that took part to send in their paperwork to confirm they participated in the event. We believe almost 100,000 children participated in sign2sing but without the evidence we will be unable to verify the actual number."
