In Pictures: Thousands turn out for St Patrick’s Day parades around the world
PA Reporter
Thousands of people lined the streets of Dublin to watch this year’s St Patrick’s Day parade in an event described by Late Late Show Patrick Kielty as “the biggest party in the world”.
Visitors travelled from Bolivia, California and China to participate in the annual event in the capital, with attendees packing the city centre bedecked in shamrock-shaped sunglasses, Irish jerseys and leprechaun hats.
Kielty, the grand marshal of this year's Dublin parade, said the day was important because it gave people a chance to “share in something, it brings a lot of people together”.
