AH, THE OLD St Patrick’s Day parade.  There’s nothing like it, wha?

This Sunday thousands of people will make their way into Dublin city centre to see the spectacle and performance.

If you are one of them, here are some people you will probably encounter.

She's there every year, knows everything there is to know about the parade and bloomin' loves it.
