314 people form shape of a key to set Guinness record

Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A group of 314 Realtors at a Florida convention set a Guinness World Record by forming the world's largest human image of a key.

The Florida Realtors said a Guinness adjudicator was on hand during the attempt at the 2019 Florida Realtors Convention & Trade Expo at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando to ensure all of the record-keeping organization's rules were followed.

The 314 people formed into the shape of a key and the adjudicator confirmed the new record was set. The 60-foot-long shape was photographed using a specially constructed overhead truss with four cameras attached.

"Realtors are the key to homeownership, and we wanted to create a tangible symbol of the role we play for buyers and sellers," Florida Realtors President Eric Sain said.

The record attempt marked the 50th anniversary of the Florida Realtors Political Action Committee.
