The Craigyhill bonfire Guinness World Record attempt has been abandoned as the builders have decided to use their fundraising efforts to help a sick local girl.
The decision was made following a committee meeting on Friday night after the builders heard about the struggles of a young girl from Larne, Pia Grace, who is going through difficult cancer treatment.
They felt that instead of raising money to fund adjudication for Guinness World Records, it would be better to use their fundraising efforts to support Pia and her family in the coming weeks.
