Worlds longest loom band

But one family's campaign to build the world's longest Loom Band in memory of their five-year-old son has broken the world record - and could reach the earth's very hold satellite.

Skye Hall from Abingdon died in August last year after battling a mind tumour.

His parents Andrew, Sally and younger brother Jesse, three, launched the Loom to the Moon campaign to raise capital for the Blue Skye Thinking - charity made in his memory.

Now after months of fundraising and travelling spherical the country, the family has broken the world record for the largest Loom Band in history.

Skye’s mum, Sally said: “After Skye died, Jesse took up the mantle on his behalf along with children from across the world that sent in their loom bands to help.

"These contain children on cancer wards across the UK which the family visited to hand out free loom bands so that this one giant chain contains the looms of those children that the money the campaign has raised will be benefitting.

“Today is a bittersweet celebration for us. It is superb to have finally reached this achievement for Skye, we just wish he was here with us to
