A WORLD record attempt at getting the largest number of people called Carol together in the same place at the same time takes place on Saturday.

Former I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here winner Carol Thatcher is spearheading the Christmas-themed effort.

The event is taking place in Blackburn town centre at the Winter Wonderland igloo but Carols of any spelling from Bolton and other areas are welcome to join in.

Participants must bring along valid photo ID to take part in the record-breaking attempt.
