World's largest smiley face created in Orlando
Five hundred people from around the world have gathered in Orlando to create the world's largest human body smiling face as part of celebrations for World Smile Day.
Wearing yellow and black ponchos the smilers stood shoulder-to-shoulder for ten minutes to create a familiar smiley face in the car park of NBA's Orlando Magic.
This meant that to anyone who happened to be passing overhead in a plane, they appeared as a 50ft diameter face,nearly the size of a basketball court.
However, not everyone was left grinning -- spare a thought for the 200 people who previously held the record and have now had the smiles wiped off their faces.
Organisers Orlando CVB had spent six months selecting people from all around the world to take part after received 20,000 applications from people who said they has something to smile about.
A spokesperson for Orlando CVB, said: "We have a world record and world travellers from the four corners of the globe told us that no other destination creates unique smile moments and memories like Orlando for families and friends to share for a lifetime."
