Pupils at St Olave's School in York will be taking part in a World Record attempt this Friday, (December 9).

The whole school will join in excess of one million other children around the UK to sing 'Lean on me' at 2.00pm on Friday.

Some of the children will be singing live on BBC Radio York at 10.20am on Friday morning.

Many of the Year 8 pupils will actually be in Germany at the time but this is not going to stop them - they will join in from the Achen Christmas Market in Germany.
