Hundreds of people lined the streets of Carrick-on-Shannon today for the town's St Patrick's Day parade.

The major event, held in rainy conditions, was led by grand marshal Kathleen Coleman, a founding member of Carrick-on-Shannon Tidy Towns, who won the overall competition for the first time in history last year.

She appeared in a vintage car just behind Kiltubrid Pipe Band, who played beautiful music to the huge crowd.
