Possibly the biggest family photo ever

Near Zhengzhou, China, over 500 members of the Ren family have got together to take an enormous family photo.

The Rens wanted to mark the Chinese lunar new year and the completion of a detailed family tree that identified 2000 living relatives and stretches back over 850 years.

The photographers reportedly had to use a drone to fit everyone in the frame.
