Olympic champion Kellie Harrington and wife Mandy Loughlin joined in on the Dublin Pride celebrations on Saturday as thousands flocked to the streets of Ireland's capital.
It was the first time since before the pandemic that thousands could gather to celebrate Pride and the Tokyo gold medal winner and her partner made sure to join in on the fun.
Harrington tied the knot to her long time partner earlier in the year and made sure to share a number of videos as they partied on the Dublin streets.

Thousands flocked to the streets to celebrate Pride in a weekend of celebrations as celebrities and politicians all enjoyed themselves.
Leo Varadkar wrote exclusively for the Irish Mirror ahead of the celebrations but said there are still ' many obstacles to overcome'.
He wrote: "I was lucky in that my experience of coming out was a very positive one. I know this is not the case for everyone. The most important thing is to come out to yourself first. Your family will almost certainly support you and so will your friends. I don’t know anyone who regrets coming out just that they didn’t sooner.
"I feel privileged to be gay in Ireland. We should not forget that only 30 of the 190 countries in the world have marriage equality. In 70 countries it’s still criminalised.
"In some places, like Russia and some parts of the United States and Central Europe, it could be argued that things are going backwards for the community.
We have a long way to go, and in Ireland there are still many issues we need to overcome, ranging from homophobic bullying in schools to the availability of sexual health services.
We need to do more for the trans community. We need to improve sexual health services and fight the epidemic of gender-based and sexual violence.
