Trafalgar Square routinely serves as a stage for mimes, jugglers and other acts, but the tourist attraction drew an exceptionally curious crowd when the shortest man who can walk met the woman with the longest legs.

He Pingping, of China, stands precisely 0.7461 metres tall. The 20-year-old was born with a type of dwarfism.

He called Svetlana Pankratova's legs "very beautiful".

The two met on Tuesday, with He standing at Pankratova's knees, the publicise the release of Guinness World Records 2009. This year's version of the popular book is due out on Wednesday.

Pankratova, 36, who is Russian but lives in Spain, has legs that are nearly 132 centimetres long, or more than 1.2 metres long. Her upper body has nearly typical proportions, giving her a giraffe-like appearance.

Dressed in a bright-blue mini-dress and low-heeled pumps, Pankratova, 36, said she liked her legs, though they can complicate things. "It's hard to find clothes, especially pants," she said.

She isn't the tallest woman on record. Sandy Allen, of Shelbyville, Indiana, who died recently, held that title, according to the book. And He is the shortest man who is mobile, the book says.

The latest edition of the book lists pop star Britney Spears as the most-searched person on the internet and the television show Lost as the most-downloaded show of all time.
