    The pipeline, running between Goxhill in North Lincolnshire and Paull in East Yorkshire, has been officially named the world’s longest hydraulically inserted pipeline at 4.96km in length, external.

    In July, after the successful completion of the tunnel beneath the Humber Estuary, it was flooded and the pipe was pushed through.

    Once the pipeline had been inserted, it was verified by the Guinness Book of Records.

    A boring machine working 35m below the river bed at Goxhill.

    Emma Ford, head of gas construction for National Grid, says: "Delivering a project which is of such importance for the gas transmission network is a super achievement.

    "To achieve a world record is the 'icing on the cake'."

    The pipeline is now being connected to the network, ready for gas to begin flowing in December, securing the supply of up to 25% of Britain’s gas during the winter months, according to National Grid.

    “I want to make it clear we won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour and we will find and take action against anyone found to be involved.

    “We’re working with our colleagues in Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and our local authorities to identify those committing offences last night and that includes those gathering in large groups breaching the lockdown restrictions.

    Anyone with information about the incident is being asked to contact the Humberside force.

    Services and parades are unable to go ahead this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, but Lincolnshire County Council says it still wanted to show its respect.

    The black and red flowers will appear over the next few days on many major junctions and will remain in place throughout the month, the authority says.

    Councillor Richard Davies says: "Like so many things this year, the Poppy Appeal has had to adapt to the threat of Covid-19 and many people aren't able to mark Remembrance Day in the way they usually would.

    "As people find new ways to show their support – with printed poppies showing up in front room windows and virtual fields of Remembrance appearing online – we are showing our support with these giant poppies painted on some of our major junctions across the county."
