Notes by Curious

No – It’s not a mob of people who show you what’s behind their trench coat!

You might have heard of them before, they have been around since 2003 – The ‘official’ (Wikipedia) definition of a flash mob is:

“a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.”

Here are some of my favourite flash mobs:
