Organisers of a fun day for children who are disabled or suffering from serious illness are hoping to beat the Guinness World Record for the most people impersonating Groucho Marx at once.
Karen Mascoll from Yorkshire Building Society, who is running the event, hopes to beat the current record of 522 impersonators, and has already ordered 550 Groucho masks for the occasion.
Events take place between 11am and 1pm on May 5 at Broadmead Junior school, 366 Sydenham Road, Croydon.
On the day the Brit School will also be performing a pantomime and Croydon Steel Orchestra will be playing.
