New record: Pensioner grows world's biggest Onion

It was enough to bring a tear to every gardener’s eye yesterday as pensioner Peter Glazebrook set a new record for the world’s heaviest onion.
The monster vegetable tipped the scales at 17lbs 15 and a half ounces breaking the previous world record of 16lbs 8.37 ounces held by John Sifford, of the West Midlands, since 2005.

Peter Glazebrook from Newark, England holds his record breaking giant onion that weighed in at 8.150kg in the heaviest onion competition to claim a place in the Guinness book of World Records
