New national flag-raising record established with 964 flags

Organisers say this will be an annual event

A new national record for the largest number of flags displayed simultaneously on masts across Malta and Gozo was set on Sunday when 964 flags were raised simultaneously by households, clubs and schools, Malta Records and organisers Calypso Radio 101.8 said. 

"This record does not belong to Calypso Radio but to the thousands of volunteers who work tirelessly for us to enjoy our village feasts," said Gordon Pace, Station Manager, Calypso Radio 101.8.  

Calypso Radio 101.8 said it will make this an annual event to celebrate and thank the volunteers and enthusiasts who organise the traditional festas throughout Malta and Gozo. 

A full gallery featuring the 964 flags is available on the official Calypso Radio Facebook page.
