The loyalist bonfire reached an unofficial world record height of 202ft last year, but attempts to claim the official record this July have been scuppered.
Guinness World Records have announced that they have no plans to officially adjudicate the height of an Eleventh Night bonfire, built by the loyalist community in Larne.The pyre, which is already under construction ahead of the events surrounding July 12th in the Craigyhill area of Larne, is the centre of a £9,000 fundraising campaign.
Last year builders of the bonfire claimed that it scaled to an unofficial world record height of 202ft, beating out the previous best of 198ft set in Austria. However, with more than £1,300 already raised, the organisation behind Guinness World Records have laid waste to any hopes of securing the record.
