A man with autism who once struggled to hug his daughters broke the Guinness World Record for most hugs in 60 seconds. Arsenal Whittick, 62, from Poole, Dorset, embraced 91 people, surpassing the previous record of 88.

His daughters, Sam and Danielle, were first and last in line during the emotional attempt, which aimed to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder.
