Katie Price’s oldest son Harvey Price is officially a Guinness World Records title holder after completing the world’s longest train drawing (II).
Starting his mammoth challenge on 19 June, Harvey successfully completed an impressive 21.3 m (approximately 65 ft 6 in) long and 1 m (3 ft 2 in) wide drawing of a Thameslink train – making it the longest drawing of a train EVER.
To put that into context, the colourful art piece measures the length of 10 standard-sized doors.
Its length also equals four giraffes... if they were lying down head to toe.
The record has been attempted in collaboration with UK-based charity Mencap to celebrate Learning Disability Week 2023, and was achieved under the Guinness World Records impairments initiative (II).
The certificate presentation took place at Harvey's school, National Star College, in Cheltenham, UK, almost one month on from the beginning of his attempt.
The challenge showcased Harvey's creative skills while celebrating his passion for trains, which had been previously explored during the tender BBC documentary Katie Price: Harvey & Me, which he starred in alongside his reality star mum, Katie.
At the age of 21, Harvey has already proved that he can face challenges head-on.
Harvey was born with septo-optic dysplasia, a disorder of early brain development which affects his sight, as well as Prader-Willi syndrome.
Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by learning difficulties that can cause behavioural challenges.
His proud mum Katie said: “I'm absolutely thrilled for Harvey; I can't believe he's got his own Guinness World Records title! 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 impairments classifications grant reasonable adjustments to be made for record attempts to ensure inclusiveness and offer a level playing field for all individuals.
The impairment initiative (II) allows for competitive titles to be created and monitored.

Harvey is one of Mencap's Myth Busters, a team of ambassadors championed by the charity.
Working across different fields, from sports to advocacy to modelling, they continuously battle preconceptions about what it means to live life with a learning disability.
Harvey’s achievement resonated far beyond the immediate celebration.
His record-breaking feat inspires everyone to challenge stereotypes, shining a light on the immense steps that society still needs to make to create a more inclusive and accessible world.
We are sure that Harvey and the other Myth Busters at Mencap UK will continue showcasing their abilities and celebrating equality, talent and inclusiveness.
In the meantime, we can’t wait to see what records they will break next.
