The birthplace of comedy legend Stan Laurel, Ulverston, smashed the Guinness World Record for the biggest ever foam pie fight this weekend. 

Around 1,186 people took part in the pie fight at the town’s Ford Park on Saturday as part of ‘Another Fine Fest’ comedy, music and arts festival. 

It was all to honour Stan, Ulverston’s most famous son and one half of the legendary Laurel and Hardy comedy duo.

The previous record holder was a Belfast circus school with 869 pie splatters.

Take a look at the action below. 

“We’re so chuffed to beat a big city like Belfast,” said Ceri Hutton one of the Pie Fight organisers.

“We had a fantastic turnout to get Ulverston into the Record Books.

"It’s only right and proper that the town which gave the world Stan Laurel should land this record!”

The effort was been accepted by Guinness HQ as an official Record Attempt.
