Meet the police officer with a world record collection of bagpipes
His collection has expanded since the record
A police officer living in Cleethorpes has the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of bagpipes.
Daniel Fleming was born in the fishing town of Arbroath in Scotland and started playing the bagpipes at the age of 10, following in the footsteps of his musical dad and older brother, who play the drums and cornet respectively.
His collection continued to grow over the years and Daniel achieved his Guinness World Record on October 24, 2013 with 105 bagpipes.
Daniel’s record collection of 105 bagpipes has since grown to around 190.
