WATCH: Britain's tallest man and former Harlem Globetrotter inspires pupils

Meet Britain's tallest man. Standing proudly at 7 ft 7.26 in, Paul Sturgess isn't the kind of man you can miss!

After spending four years with the Harlem Globetrotters and visiting 70 countries during that period, Paul has since moved into motivational speaking and has also featured in Avatar 2 and Fantastic Beasts.

The 34-year-old has also been filming the Lord of the Rings TV series, which will be aired later this year.

He's been at Arlies Primary School today (Friday) to inspire the pupils, recall his experience as a Globetrotter, and deliver a basketball workshop.

We spoke to Paul about a number of topics.
