Elvis impersonator abandons record bid

Suffolk: An Elvis Presley impersonator was forced to abandon his attempt at a world record singing marathon.

Simon Goldsmith, 36, had hoped to sing for more than 43 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds. After performing Elvis hits non-stop for more than 35 hours, the delivery driver had to abandon the attempt on medical advice.

Essex: A pilot was dragged from a burning plane after the light aircraft he was flying crashed into a car.

The single-engine AT3 clipped the back of a Volvo X60 as the man, in his 40s, struggled to land at North Weald Airfield.
