Tallest unveils largest

THE world’s tallest living man unveiled the world’s largest ginger-bread man at an Ikea outlet in Oslo.

Guinness Book of World Records spokeswoman Justine Bourdariat said 8ft 1in Sultan Koesen, of Turkey, presented the 1,435lb (651kg) biscuit.

Baked locally in the traditional gingerbread man shape, it beat the previous gingerbread record of 1,307lb (593kg) set in 2006 in Smithville, Texas.
