The Irish capital was a sea of green as around half a million people lined the streets of Dublin for the St Patrick’s Festival parade.
Crowds of all ages, including visitors from around the world, filled the city centre to soak up the festive atmosphere. Dressed in every shade of green, many spectators proudly displayed shamrocks and Irish tricolours painted on their faces, while others embraced the occasion with leprechaun hats and Irish jerseys.
