The team behind Monty Python musical Spamalot has led the world's largest ever coconut orchestra.
Creators, cast and behind-the-scenes crew from the production, along with fans, were in London's Trafalgar Square for the record-breaking event on Monday.
With 5,567 people the team "clip-clopped" their way through the previous record of 1,789, set in New York last year.
They played along to Always Look On The Bright Side of Life from Python movie The Life of Brian.
Guinness World Records officials were present and ready to hand over an official certificate. Craig Glenday, editor in chief, commented: "They broke it by quite a sizable amount."
