VIDEO: How many Charlies Chaplins do you need to break a record?

They looked a right Charlie but there just weren’t enough of them to break the world record.

It still made a spectacular sight, 151 Charlie Chaplin lookalikes walking from the community centre to Fossett’s Big Top on the promenade in Waterville, Co Kerry, where the iconic comic and his wife Oonagh holidayed with their family throughout the 1950s and ’60s.

And even though they didn’t beat the world record of 250 set in Los Angeles, organisers of the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Film Festival were happy with the numbers who dressed up as ‘The Tramp’, up 10 from last year’s effort.
