    The British Heart Foundation (BHF) marked Valentine’s Day by joining the messages of 17,939 BHF supporters in a Guinness World Records title attempt for longest chain of paper hearts.

    Through its network of over 720 charity shops and thousands of supporters, the British Heart Foundation asked people to write messages of love and support for their loved ones, people battling heart disease or in memory of those they’ve lost.

    Residents in Yorkshire and the Humber helped contribute approximately 2214 hearts to be included in the chain.

    The charity created a chain of 17,939 of these hearts, surpassing the previous Guinness World Records title holder for longest chain of paper hearts of 11,288 by Moët Hennessy UK.
