Great British Bake Off star Mary Berry has helped serve up a world record . . . but not in the kitchen.
Queen of cakes Mary, who grew up in Bath, was part of the record-breaking attempt to christen the most ships in one day by one company.
Mary swapped the kitchen for Amsterdam to break a bottle of bubbly over one of 14 new Longships from the Viking Cruises fleet.
The 78-year-old was joined by her daughter Annabel and headed to her domain, the kitchen to meet the chefs after christening the river cruise vessel Alsvin.
Mary said: "It's an honor, as well as an amazing experience, to christen a vessel which I know will be home for Viking guests as they embark on River Cruising throughout Europe.
"After spending some time on board the Alsvin, I can see why people are so taken with river cruising. As someone who is fascinated by travel, culture and food destinations you certainly get a sense of the Viking spirit on board."
