Hundreds of thousands of people have packed the streets of Dublin to watch Ireland’s national St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Green was the colour everywhere you looked around Dublin this St Patrick's Day and accents from all over the globe could be heard. The festive atmosphere was in full swing with a huge parade taking place in front of the President of Ireland Michael D Higgins.
