From the wacky to the impressive, thousands of people around the world sought their place in the Guinness World Records.
This was no bog standard race but the world's fastest toilet against the world's quickest mobility scooter and the world's smallest roadworthy car.
Among the attempts to set new global records were 57 people in Canary Wharf, London, who piled into a large pair of bright pink underpants to break the record for the most people in a pair of pants.
Essex played host to the largest Cream Tea Party, attracting 334 people while Dubliners managed to return the record for the most people dressed as leprechauns to Ireland from the US when 262 donned costumes.
Canary Wharf also held a world record race between the fastest toilet, the smallest roadworthy car and the fastest mobility scooter.
In the Netherlands, 1,541 took part in a mass Macarena dance while in Florida, 91 year-old Bernice Mary Bates was named the oldest yoga teacher.
Craig Glenday, Guinness World Records editor, said: "This year, it seems to be about bringing records back home to the people who are most passionate about enjoying their culture and national identity."
