YEAR sevens at Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College, Worcester, joined thousands of others around the country in an attempt to break the world record for the biggest ever simultaneous sing-along.

Youngsters sang to Des’ree’s You Gotta Be at 2.45pm yesterday – the same time as Des’ree performed the hit at the O2 arena, London.

The Big Sing was aimed at raising funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care, CLIC Sargent and Youth Music.
