Harvey Price, the eldest child of Katie Price, has set the world record for the longest drawing of a train. It took the 21-year-old Harvey four weeks to complete the 21.3 metre-long picture of his favourite train – the Gatwick Express.
The challenge was set last month during Mencap’s Learning Disability Week and Harvey had to make sure his drawing was over 20 metres to set the record. To measure the enormous train picture, Guinness World Records visited Harvey at the National Star College near Cheltenham, where he lives.
Harvey has autism, Prader-Willi syndrome, septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability and his incredible achievement was recognised in front of his proud mother, friends and teachers. Katie Price, 45, was ecstatic and said, “I’m absolutely thrilled for Harvey. I can’t believe he’s got his own Guinness World Record. It’s fantastic. He’s worked so hard on completing his drawing and I think he’s done amazingly well. We officially have a Guinness World Record holder in the family and everyone is so happy for him.”
The record was achieved under the Guinness World Records impairments initiative, which has been developed alongside Mencap. It allows reasonable adjustments to be made for record bids to better include people with learning disabilities. Alison Pike from Mencap said, “Harvey is continuing to bust myths and preconceptions about what it means to live life with a learning disability, and we are delighted that his passion for trains has led to him being a world record breaker.”
Harvey’s art tutor Louise Adams also praised Harvey for his hard work, noting that it was a very physical challenge. She added, “We are very proud of Harvey for what he has achieved throughout this challenge.”
Harvey Price has certainly set an inspiring example for people with learning disabilities to pursue their dreams and passions. Congratulations to Harvey for his incredible achievement!
