BGUK_3365769 - The Old Royal Naval College and Elstree Studios have made history today, setting a new Guinness World Records(tm) title for the largest gathering of people dressed as film and TV characters. On Saturday 27th September, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Greenwich was transformed into a dazzling real-life movie set as 874 fans arrived dressed as 45 iconic screen characters - from Queen Charlotte and Jack Sparrow to Luke Skywalker, Batman and Indiana Jones. Marking 100 years since both the Old Royal Naval College's first on-screen appearance and the founding of Elstree Studios, the day fused heritage and Hollywood in spectacular style with film tours, interactive experiences, props, red-carpet moments and cinematic surprises. This record-breaking celebration cements the Old Royal Naval College's reputation as the UK's No.1 filming heritage location and highlights Elstree Studios' century-long role as home to some of cinema's greatest stories.
