900 people form human chain around trees in Coventry
More than 900 people formed a chain in a bid to save 26 trees from being cut down to make way for a cycleway in Coventry.
Campaigners were hoping to break a UK record for the largest group tree hug set in Cheshire. They needed 703 people but 925 joined the chain!
Organisers told BBC CWR they were "absolutely stunned" by the turnout and had wanted to create a visible demonstration of how they felt about the "beautiful" trees.
The trees on Clifford Bridge Road will be removed to make way for a cycleway and the council say they will plant 32 new trees (groan!).
