Antena 3’s huge present for Europe  on its very birthday is ready

The huge flag of the European Union is ready, and today, the final preparations for  Europe’s  Day are being made. We are proud to be a  European country, so the flag is a present  that  Antena 3  gives to  Europe on its very own  birthday.

Tomorrow's event will be accompanied by a reception hosted by the  Bucharest City Mayor, to be attended by   important people of the Romanian society. For the flag’s manufacturing, a small army of people from the  flags factory  worked intensively to make everything perfect.


It wasn’t easy dealing with a flag weighing nearly 800 kilos but the employees from the Flags factory have managed to put it together.  The flag measures 100 meters wide and 140 meters long, it took three days and three nights of very hard work to  make it.


A sea of blue fabric covered the other days the Aerodrome of Clinceni. The flag was displayed in order to have it measured and to  identify exactly where the stars,  the symbol of the European Union, will be placed!.


In order for the 12 stars to be fitted  in  right in their place it took a lot of engineering and  many calculations.  Pure mathematics combined with the talent of the seamstresses from the flags factory.


Currently, the final adjustments for  Europe’s Day are being made. The flag of the European Union is set in the courtyard of the House of Parliament. Tomorrow’s event  will be accompanied by a reception given by the City  Town hall,  to be attended by important personalities of the Romanian society.


The European union’s huge flag  is the first stage of a greater present  that Antena 3  has in store  for  Romanians:  a place in the Guinness Book for  having   made the largest national flag in the world.
