Pictures as thousands gather in Nottingham to celebrate St Patrick's Day

Crowds gathered to celebrate the first St Patrick's Day since the complete lifting of Covid restrictions. Although there was no parade, Old Market Square hosted a series of performers including popular Celtic folk band, Kelly's Heroes.

The day started with a mass to bless the shamrock at The Mass of St Patrick at Our Lady and St Patrick's Church in Robin Hood Way, The Meadows. Market Square celebrations were in full swing by 12.30pm with a full line up of performers playing traditional music.

The celebrations were officially opened by Councillor David Trimble, the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, and Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Merlita Bryan. This year, Nottingham is twinned with the city of Cork in the South of Ireland.
