Tireless organisers to thank for St. Patrick’s festivities

THEY were out in force in Manchester and Birmingham over the weekend as the St. Patrick’s celebrations got under way.

A week before the big day itself more than 200,000 took to the streets to celebrate Ireland’s patron saint.

The crowds thronging these two magnificent cities were a vivid indication of the strength of the Irish community in 2007.

This coming weekend London, Luton, Bristol, Liverpool and a host of other towns and cities will be staging their own St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

We’re sure all will go with a swing thanks to the tireless work of the organisers who spend so long masterminding the events. To them we all owe a great debt of gratitude.

For without their efforts St. Patrick’s Day here in Britain would not be the magnificent show it has now become.
