Guinness World Records Day is an annual celebration of the extraordinary feats achieved by individuals around the world. This day, typically held in November, brings together people from diverse backgrounds and cultures who share a common goal: to push the boundaries of human capability and achieve the seemingly impossible. Since its inception, Guinness World Records Day has become a global phenomenon, highlighting the incredible potential that lies within each of us.
History of Guinness World Records Day:
The Guinness World Records concept began in 1951 when Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery, got into an argument about the fastest game bird in Europe. Unable to find a definitive answer in any reference book, he realised the need for a standardized source of information on record-breaking achievements. This idea led to the creation of the first Guinness Book of Records, which eventually evolved into the Guinness World Records we know today.
