Pakistan News Reported:
Pakistan Latest To Chase 'Largest Flag' Record
On
October 22, 24,200 young Pakistanis crowded into Lahore's National
Hockey Stadium to hold up colored placards forming the Pakistani flag.
The
crowd erupted in cheers when the representative from Guinness World
Records announced that they had indeed created the "world's largest
human flag," breaking a record held by a crowd of Portuguese women since
2006.
"The participants said they were showing the beautiful
image of Pakistan to the rest of the world and expressing their unity
under the flag of Pakistan," Pakistan's "The News" reported.
Clearly
on a roll, 1,936 Pakistani students broke another record, by forming
the largest "human picture mosaic" of the Lahore Fort at the stadium.
Kicking
off this record-setting exuberance in Lahore was the first in the chain
of mass-patriotism events, when over 42,000 young Pakistanis sang the
national anthem in unison at the Punjab Youth Festival 2012. The Lahore
stadium crowd crushed the previous record set by a mere 15,000 some
people in India in January 2012.
Pakistan's flag-waving
one-upmanship is the latest in a series of records set in the last few
years. Just last year, Ukrainians in the eastern city of Dnipropetrovsk
commemorated the country's Constitution Day by unfurling what they said
was the world's largest national flag.
