A group of German teenagers have held a giant dominos display in Berlin.

For the past month, the team have been preparing the connecting domino displays, using in total 55, 555 pieces.

The idea was the brainchild of 16-year-old Max Poser who collected all of the dominos used over the years

The idea was the brainchild of 16-year-old Max Poser who collected all of the dominos used over the years.

He got the idea from Domino Day which is an annual event held in the Netherlands involving 4 million dominos.

Mr Poser said everyone in the run up to the event had to keep quiet in case a loud noise accidently knocked over some of the dominos.

One of the highlights was a section of blue dominos arranged to look like the Titanic cruise liner.

The domino display took 15 minutes to fall from start to finish.
