We were privileged to take part in the parade

We met at St Patrick's Old Cathedral parish...

where we met the local dignitaries

We had to get past security...

...to get to our waiting area

How to pass the time if you have a marching band handy

The waiting improved our appetite

The Parade:

Eventually, we were admitted to the parade:

After we were reviewed...

...we were relieved

But the parade went on:

It didn't end until after 5.30pm!
