The worlds biggest Christmas card has been delivered to London to publicise a joint bid by Portsmouth and Southampton to become the UK’s City of Culture for 2013.
The card was taken the government to let them see they meant business.
The card is 10 metres by 3.5 metres (33ft by 10ft) which has smashed the record for the largest Christmas card.
The slogan for the culture bid printed on the card is ‘Portsmouth Southampton – PS I Love You’.
Southampton City Council’s head of leisure and culture, Mike Harris, and Portsmouth City Council’s tourism visitor services and events manager, Drusilla Moody, presented the card to culture and tourism minister Margaret Hodge MBE.
The winning city or cities will become a focus for national attention, potentially hosting national high-profile events such as the Turner Prize, BBC Sports Personality of the Year, The Brits and the RIBA Stirling Prize.
