LAHORE: More than 24,000 Pakistanis Monday formed the world’s largest “human national flag” in the eastern city of Lahore, smashing a five-year-old record set in Hong Kong, officials said.
A total of 24,200 people stood up in the national hockey stadium to make the green and white Pakistani standard, smashing the 2007 record set by 21,726 people in Hong Kong.
“It’s amazing, amazing display of unity of 24,200 people here in Lahore tonight,” Guinness World Records adjudicator Gareth Deaves told a cheering crowd.
“Every single one of you holds this record,” he said, handing over the certificate to Punjab provincial government representative Hamza Shahbaz Sharif.
On Saturday night 42,813 people in the national hockey stadium sang the national anthem together, smashing the previous best of 15,243 held by India.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

i do think these records are quite silly, but being perfectly honest, it's great to see pakistani media giving headlines and focus to positive things being done in the country. so what if it's chilidsh, at least it gives the media a chance to portray happy smiling faces. if nothing else, it's a metaphor for how much we can accomplish when we put our differences aside and work together. and that my friends should be a lesson for everyone.
