Commuters set aside their usual indifference towards fellow rail passengers yesterday when they set a world record for hugging. For one minute, 112 people, many of them total strangers, embraced at St Pancras station in London, the most to do so for that long. The stunt was held on the fifth annual Guinness World Records Day — 24 hours of record-breaking attempts — marking the day in 2004 when the Guinness World Records book became the world’s bestselling copyright title with 100 million copies sold. About 200,000 people around the world were taking part.
