People hold torches during the world record-breaking attempt in Jakarta. About 3,777 participants from
Freedom Faithnet Global (Indonesia) broke the Guinness World Record for the Largest Torchlit Parade

Thousands of people set two new world records as they lit up about 3,700 flaming torches in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, organisers said yesterday.
A total of 3,777 people from 36 countries took part in the “largest torchlit image formed by people” and 3,690 people formed the “largest torchlit parade” at Jakarta stadium on Saturday, organisers said.
“It was awesome. There was slight rain but people still turned up. We sang, we celebrated love in the world, and we broke two world records. We were certified last night,” Yamal Hasmanan, spokesman for web-based “community group” Freedom Faithnet Global (FFG) which organised the events, said.
The first challenge required participants to light torches one by one and keep them lit for 10 minutes, while the second required them to carry their torches in a street procession lasting 45 to 50 minutes, Hasmanan said.
“During the parade, some torches went out, so the number got smaller. But it’s okay... we still managed to break the record,” he said, adding that they were certified by Guinness World Records. AFP
