Children and adults have helped to set a record for the number of people drawing pictures at the same time.

More than 90 people took part in the event at Colchester Library on Saturday as part of a project that took place simutaneously across the country.

"We had people coming in all day. It was very successful," said Jane Richardson of the library.

"Whatever the numbers, it will be a record as it has never been done before.

"Organisers will be contacting the Guinness Book of Records to see if they will accept it as a record."
