The world's largest coconut orchestra, led by two Monty Python stars, has made it into the Guinness World Records book.

A total of 5,567 people converged on London's Trafalgar Square to break the previous record of 1,789 people gathered in one location playing coconuts. They were conducted by actors Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam and the cast of the Monty Python musical Spamalot.

The coconut orchestra was part of the St George's Day festivities held across the capital over the past three days, with the aim of celebrating English culture.

4. Where did they get the cocoanuts?

:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

6. They found them!

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. *Found* them? In London?

The cocoanut's tropical!

8. The swallow may fly south with the sun,

the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

9. Are you suggestin'

that cocoanuts migrate?

[AllegroRondo]

10. Not at all.

They could be carried.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. A *swallow,* carryin' a *cocoanut*??

:wtf:

[AllegroRondo]

12. It could grip it by the husk.

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. It's not a question of where he *grips* it

It's a simple matter of weight ratios! A five-ounce bird cannot carry a one-pound cocoanut! It's that simple!

[AllegroRondo]

14. Well, it doesn't matter.

Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?

5. An African swallow or a European swallow?

:shrug:
