Domino world record bid falls over

An attempt to set a new domino world record has fallen short.

Eighty-five builders from twelve European countries spent more than two months working towards the big day in Holland.

Organisers said a total of 3,671,465 dominoes were successfully felled during the two hour long showBritish singer Katie Melua started off the chain reaction - with a bridge over a revolving hammer proving the final stumbling block.



Organisers said a total of 3,671,465 dominoes were successfully felled during the two-hour-long show.

"When you work eight weeks, eight hours a day, five days a week, and only focus on dominos and then after that eight weeks, you have to conclude with that result, with this loss, of course it feels really hard," said organiser Robin Paul Weijers.

The world record was set at last year's 'Domino Day' when over 4.07 million of the tiles were knocked down.
