A Guinness World Record was set at the closing ceremony of the 29th World Cup of Horse Racing in Dubai: the world’s largest flying LED screen consisting of 5,983 drones was demonstrated at Meydan Racecourse. The event attracted more than 60,000 spectators and lasted about 20 minutes, as reported by
Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS.

The show, which utilised innovative drone technology, lasers, light design and fireworks, combined artistic elements with a cultural message. 3D images appeared in the sky, including giant portraits of UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, as well as scenes of horses and the championship trophy.

According to the The Guinness World Records, the event broke last year’s record when the screen consisted of 4,000 drones. The show ended with the message “See you next year: 30th anniversary of Dubai World Cup”.
