It took about 200 people several hours Monday to roll out the flag, which measured 349.42 meters by 226.92 meters, about three times the size of a football field, according to Jack Brockbank, an international adjudicator for GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS who measured the flag before pronouncing it the biggest in the world.
“It gives me great pleasure to recognize a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title,” he said after measuring the flag. “Congratulations Romania!”
The flag covers a surface of 79,290.39 square meters, downing Lebanon which had held the previous record of 65,975 sq m.
Parteners for the event: Rompetrol, Novensys, FabricadeSteaguri.eu, Aeroclubul României, Ministerul Apărării Naţionale, Dinner in the sky, Caroli and Asociația Dedeman.
