"On
behalf of the Guinness Book it is a great pleasure to announce that today ...
the people of Honduras in Tegucigalpa, with 2,945 people, have broken the
record for world's largest human Christmas tree," said company
representative Carlos MartÃnez.
President
Juan Orlando Hernandez was all smiles whilst recieving the
certificate outside the presidential residence.
"It's officially amazing," Hernandez said after reading
the document.
It was a bit of good news for the Central American nation, gripped
by poverty and the world's highest homicide rate.
