Around 400,000 people attended events in Dublin on Saint Patrick’s Day, centered on the first parade in the city since 2019.

In the US, meanwhile, the traditional shamrock ceremony at the White House was moved to a virtual meeting after Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheal Martin tested positive for COVID-19. US President Joe Biden tweeted that he was looking forward to “reaffirming the close and historic partnership between the United States and Ireland and the extraordinary bonds between our people.” Credit: Ivan Luis Seibel via Storyful
