World's biggest cricket lesson takes place in London

The world's biggest cricket lesson has taken place at the famous Lord's Cricket Ground in north London.

More than 900 children from 35 schools across the country took part in the event.

Celebrity supporters in the crowd included Fury from BBC show Gladiators.

The lesson broke the previous record which was set in Birmingham three years ago.

The event was set up by the charity Chance to Shine, which works to help more children get the opportunity to play cricket in schools and local communities.

The new record saw 943 people take part, beating the previous record of 645 participants which was set in Birmingham in 2022.

TV Gladiator Fury, who was at the lesson, said the event helped children team up and support each other.

She explained: "There's so many varieties of kids here, there might be kids who are shy, like myself - I was very shy as a kid, so it's a great way to meet new people, work together, learn new skills.

"I think that's really cool and just to have a fun day out," Fury added.

Officials from the Guinness World Records were also on hand to confirm it had been the world's biggest cricket lesson and hand over a certificate of achievement.
