Hairy moments as family unites for record

It was a case of close cuts for nine Meath brothers who reunited for the first time in two years in a Guinness world record attempt.

The Morris Brothers — who range in age from 47 to 70 — travelled from as far as Canada and England to their home in Carnaross, Kells, to rid themselves of their beards, especially grown for the charity event.

Bill and Tom landed from Canada with razor-sharp wit to ask if they needed to pay tax to import the newly-grown body hair.
