It was a good day for selling hats in Dublin yesterday — the Ray D’Arcy show broke its fifth world record for the most heads shaved simultaneously.

After its annual Daffodil Day collection turned into a washout earlier this year, the Irish Cancer Society has clawed back almost two thirds of donation losses from the event.

Has some massive punk revival just passed you by? Nope, it’s a new world record made in Dublin today.
