Actor Patrick Duffy says it is an 'honour' to attend St Patrick's Day festivities in Ireland

Patrick Duffy Michael D Higgins Ireland Larry Hagman Dublin Leo Varadkar Dallas

Patrick Duffy has said that standing next to President Michael D Higgins at today's parade was a true honour.

The actor, best known for playing Bobby Ewing in the 1980s soap opera 'Dallas', is Ireland's International Guest of Honour for the St Patrick's Day parade. The 74-year-old is also celebrating his birthday today and was presented with an extravagant green cake ahead of the celebrations.

Patrick, whose grandfather emigrated from Ireland to the US in the 1920s, said that he was most looking forward to being in the open car and seeing people travel far and wide for the big day. He also said it was a huge honour to get to meet President Michael D Higgins through the celebrations.
