Hundreds of skaters have attempted to set a new Guinness World Record. Geoff Else, a professional skateboarder and coach from Winchester, gathered 360 pupils from the city's Kings' School in an attempt to conduct the largest skateboard lesson. The current record, set in 2012 in California, is 311 people in one lesson - but Mr Else believes that record has now been broken. He will now wait for confirmation from Guinness World Record judges.

Some residents of a retirement block were stuck inside over Christmas after the only lift in their building broke down. It meant many of those with mobility problems at Linden Court on Wessex Road, Southampton, had to change their festive plans. Housing association Saxon Weald Homes wrote to residents to say the lift would be prioritised in January. Saxon Weald Homes has been approached by the BBC for comment. Frank Proctor, 101, lives on the first floor of the building.
