A terminally ill five-year-old boy has received 250,000 Christmas cards from across the world.
A campaign was set up on behalf of Bradley Lowery, of Blackhall Colliery, Hartlepool, after doctors said his neuroblastoma could not be beaten.
Friends had hoped to set a world record for most cards received by one person.
However, Guinness said it did not monitor the category "due to the negative impact" on the postal service.
Envelopes and parcels have been flooding into Sunderland fan Bradley's local community centre with members of the public helping to open the deliveries.
It follows a fundraising campaign in which £700,000 was donated to pay for treatment in the United States.
