The world's tallest woman Rumeysa Gelgi and shortest woman Jyoti Amge have met for the first time, marking a special celebration of the 20th annual Guinness World Records Day.
They shared an afternoon tea at the Savoy Hotel in London, exchanging stories and experiences from two very different perspectives.
During their week-long visit to London, they also toured landmarks like Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
Jyoti, who stands at just 62.8 cm, and Rumeysa, who towers at 2 metres 15 cm, are both featured as Guinness World Records Icons in the 70th anniversary edition of the book.
Rumeysa, who holds the title for the tallest living woman, has Weaver syndrome, a rare condition that causes accelerated growth and skeletal deformities.
Jyoti, an actress known for her role in 'American Horror Story', holds records as the shortest living woman and shortest actress, due to a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.
Rumeysa shared her excitement, saying, "It was amazing meeting Jyoti. It was hard to make eye contact at times because of our height difference, but we have so much in common, like a love for makeup and self-care."
Jyoti expressed her joy, saying, "I'm used to looking up at tall people, but today it was special to look up and see the world's tallest woman. Rumeysa is so kind-hearted, and I felt so comfortable talking to her."
