St Patrick's Day Parade!

It's a day we all live for!

If we ever needed proof that The Almighty loves the Irish, we got it on Saturday 17 March. Unseasonably warm was the only way to describe the clear, bright day. We couldn't have asked for better marching weather!

Many must have agreed—most estimates put the crowd lining the 1.5 mile parade route at between 250 and 300 thousand!
