BridgeClimbââ¬â¢s founder and chairman, Paul Cave, said, ââ¬ÅâœItââ¬â¢s been very rewarding to witness the business evolve over the past 10 years. It is so wonderful to be living my passion and my dream.ââ¬~

The celebration has been recognised by Guinness World Records as a new world record for ââ¬ËœMost flags flown on a bridgeââ¬â¢.
