Pancake-flipping record bid
Hundreds of people gathered in the Titanic Quarter yesterday on Pancake Tuesday to attempt to break the world record for the most people flipping a pancake. The event was organised by Tourism Northern Ireland as part of the NI Year of Food and Drink 2016.
The pancake-flipping record currently stands at 890. Organisers of yesterday’s event were aiming to have 1,000 participants – and last night said they were “hopeful” they had broken the record. A spokesperson said: “We won’t know for sure until we get the official word from Guinness World Records – but wouldn’t it be flipping marvellous to have taken the record?!”
