Rod Stewart paid a visit to an iconic Dublin pub this week, which has taken us on a trip down memory lane to think about why we love it so much.
The 77-year-old musician posed with staff at John Kavanagh "The Gavediggers" pub in Glasnevin on an historic day. On May 4 1916, Joseph Mary Plunkett, one of the signatories of the Proclamation of Independence, married Grace Gifford in Kilmainham Gaol just hours before his execution.
The short-lived marriage inspired Frank and Seán Meara to pen "Grace" in 1985 which Stewart released his own version of in 2018.
