Leeds residents have set out to break Guinness World Records all the time. Some are successful, many more are not. These memories range from the sublime to the ridiculous and feature everything from zombies and Scalextric though to counting to ten in Japanese in the shortest amount of time.

Members of the public try to break the world record for fitting as many people as they can into a Smart car. It was parked on Briggate in July 2001. They managed to equal the record - 15. Photo: Claire Lim
