Champion boxer Kellie Harrington told how she was “pushed for time” and forgot her Olympic gold medal ahead of her Grand Marshal duties at the St Patrick’s Day parade.
More than 400,000 people lined the streets of Dublin to watch Kellie, alongside Paralympian Ellen Keane lead the Dublin parade, with Irish American actor John C Reilly as our international guest of honour.
Chicago born Reilly dressed the part in a green tweed suit and cap, which was custom made by top tailor Louis Copeland, while sporting heroes Kellie and Ellen donned their gold medals and wore their Olympic tracksuits.
