At the last count, at least 8,300 people took part in the Guinness World Record attempt to have the Largest Picnic Ever in the UK.
This means Emily and I are now Guinness World Record Holders!
The previous holder of the Guinness World Record for "The Largest Picnic across multiple venues" was Tenerife, Spain which set the record with 8,000 picnickers in 1999.
At 1pm the count was made and at the Luton picnic a total of 798 people picnicking was recorded.
The Guinness World Record attempt was organised as part of National Family Week. Visit the National Family Week website for more information.

Guinness World Record attempt - Largest Picnic Ever
Today (25th May 2009) Emily and I (along with 796 other Lutonians) took part in a Guinness World Record attempt for "The Largest Picnic across multiple venues."
At 1pm the count was made and the total of 798 people picnicking was recorded.
Picnics were taking place across the UK to try to take the record from current holders Spain.
Participants in the record attempt needed a rug or mat, and food & drink including a minimum of two courses per person (e.g. sandwiches and fruit or cake).
Details of whether a new Guinness World Record was set by the UK will be known soon.
The Guinness World Record attempt was organised as part of National Family Week. Visit http://www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk/ for more information.
