http://www.euronews.com/ Ireland has put aside its economic travails to celebrate the day of its national Saint, St Patrick.
The streets of Dublin were a sea of green as young and old turned out to mark the occasion.
It has been a five day affair, with 8,000 visitors from around the world joining in a people's parade.
This year the celebrations are also global. 70 monuments like the Pyramids and Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue have been lit up green.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny has taken 19 of his ministers on a goodwill trip to sell the Irish brand abroad.
Grateful that more than 13 million pints of Guinness will be quaffed across the world in just one day, Guinness is offering a free visit to its Dublin factory to everyone called Patrick.
