As promised in our earlier post, our HD video footage, hereunder, comes courtesy of Hidden Tipperary’s ace cameraman Mr Garry Butler, who has somehow managed to fit highlights of a two hours event into just eight minutes.
To our American friends and regular readers Patrick Hayes, Eileen Lean and of course Maureen Merrison, (latter who will be visiting her home town of Thurles in early July of this year) and of course not forgetting, Fethard native Katie O’Connell Knott currently residing in Australia, go our belated, but sincere St.Patrick’s Day good wishes.
Again our thanks to the Thurles St. Patrick’s Day Parade organising committee, and trust that most of you caught a glimpse of yourselves, in this excellent video clip provided.
The Thurles St. Patrick’s Parade was held yesterday under clear skies and brilliant sunshine. This year’s event was possibly the largest attended Paddy’s parade ever, in the history of Thurles and took over two hours to pass the “Reviewing Stand.”
Hereunder is a short picture video of just some of the highlights of this most enjoyable of events.
Warning: I feel I should warn viewers that this picture video contains scenes of extreme nudity, foul language and violence, which some viewers may find disturbing, particularly Minister Phil Hogan.
As you saw President Michael D. Higgins was in attendance, as were Mrs Brown and Granddad. Some Vikings, who never went home, also turned up and if anyone ever asks you did the Roman army visit Thurles, you can now answer in the affirmative.
Trust you all enjoyed the afternoon and a big ‘Thank You,’ to Tomas Gleeson and his organising committee. Do check back, as we will be bringing you more video footage over the coming days, so do stay tuned to Thurles.Info
