Merry men

The world record for getting dressed up as Robin Hood has been smashed in Nottingham by a group of enthusiasts.

Hundreds of volunteers, led by the modern-day Sheriff of Nottingham, gathered at the city's castle to try and pass the previous total of 607.

Participants had to meet minimum costume requirements of a hat with a feather, a green or brown tunic and trousers and leather footwear.

The official count, taken at midday, put the total at 1,119.
