A Derbyshire grandad has claimed his 102nd world record with a towering feat in the run-up to Halloween.

John Evans, who lives in Ilkeston, balanced eight pumpkins on his head for a total of 14 seconds. His load weighed 10 stones and measured 71ins high.

He said: “I did have to practice a bit. I then did three shows at Shirley Pumpkins on October 9.”
