The world largest flag

[MaidenScotland]

The tower has been painted, marquees are up and it looks like they are stitching the flag together on the ground.
I wonder if they have thought about the poor wee man that will have to haul the flag up.

Lets guess who will not be the guest of honour at the unfurling ceremony

Im guessing it wont be me.

It was hung with a lot off hoo ha and now it's hanging limp like the tourist industry and filthy dirty. The white is near black.

It is supposed to be the highest flagpole in the world.

Have a look at the photo gallery here.

Flagpole sets Guinness book world record - Cairo | Demotix.com

This is dated Nov'11 so by now the flag is most likely in tatters. Anyone got a more recent pic?

Taken 10 minutes ago I had to auto adjust it as the smog made it a bit hazy.

I have also taken a little video but don't know how to add it here.

but have a look at this photo .. the flagpole is to the left of the bridge, the swimming pool to the right.. I did not need to autoadjust the swimming pool.
There are people swimming
