Protesters mock 'end of world' church

Outside the Family Radio network headquarters protesters celebrated as the world's end failed to materialise. One group, who call themselves the Family Church of Laughs, filled human-shaped balloons shaped with helium and let them go to simulate souls being lifted to heaven.

Ed Holmes, leader of the satirical group, said: "It's important to mock the prophets. It's important to mock those that think they know what they are talking about."
