These icon surfed through a crowd of roughly 20,000 people!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a crowd-surfing granny!

A 99-year-old woman has been recognised by Guinness World Records after becoming the oldest person to crowd surf at a concert.

Pauline Kana, who was born in August 1926, said it was her dream to be "the greatest in the world at something".

Now she has achieved her wish by being floated by a crowd of roughly 20,000 people at a gig in the US.

The feat took place during a show by country star Bradley Gilbert at the Austin County Fairgrounds in Texas, in May.

To keep things comfortable, Kana was passed through the crowd on cushioned stretcher.

The crowd kept up a lively chant of "Granny! Granny!"

"I did it!" Kana said after receiving her Guinness Award.

"I'm the greatest of all time!"
