A new world record was set in eastern France when 343 hot air balloons took off in unison.

The new world record was set at the Chambley-Bussieres Aerodrome in eastern France when 343 hot air balloons took off during the 12th Lorraine Mondial international hot air balloon festival.

The balloons ascended from the former Nato air base, and broke the previous record of 329 balloons, set at the same festival in 2009.

A number of Britons took part in the mass ascent, which was attended by 14 countries.
