The world record for the largest gospel choir has been smashed by a church in the Philippines.

Church of God International in Manila formed a chorus of 8 688 singers and reduced the Guinness World Records adjudicator to tears during the 15-minute performance.

The Araneta Coliseum was packed by the record-breaking ensemble which shattered the previous record of 4,745 people.
