A sea of green covered Dublin city this afternoon for St Patrick's Day as Republic of Ireland manager Vera Pauw said she felt "humbled" to be Grand Marshal of the parade.
Despite the rain, up to 450,000 people lined the streets of Dublin to celebrate the festive day.
Vera joined players Diane Caldwell and Paula Gorham - who scored a hat-trick on her Ireland Women's Team debut in the country’s first women’s international in May 1973 – in the city centre as the Grand Marshals for St Patrick’s Day.
