The Big Picture - West Midlands

Since a lot of people who were at the World Record unveiling were, or have become, interested in taking photos there were a lot of cameras out at the event. We hope that people will share theirs online with everyone, it could be almost as good as being there.

We’ll also collect blog posts, videos or any reaction from around the web here — if you spot any please leave a message in the comments.
