The previous Guinness World Records' record for the largest gathering of people dressed as penguins is 325 and was achieved by Richard House (UK) in Wood Wharf, London, UK, for Guinness World Records Day, on 13 November 2013.

 BBC Ground Force star and hospice patron Tommy Walsh hosted the evening. Despite a spot of rain he said it was "all held in high spirits", the Newham Recorder reported.

   He added: "People dressed up, had fun and raised a lot of money for Richard House Children's Hospice, which is very good cause. Let's see if we can beat the record again next year."

   Guinness World Record officials were on hand to verify the record, made on the eve of Guinness World Record Day.

    All the money raised to the event, sponsored by Pension Insurance, will go towards providing vital care and support for children and young adults with life-limiting health conditions.
