Thousands of people lined the streets of Ballina, Co Mayo last night to watch the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden deliver a rousing speech in the hometown of his ancestors, but many more RTE viewers were distracted by one detail of the event.
The crowds in Mayo were made to wait hours before the President emerged through the flashing green lights to the first bars of the Dropkick Murphy's famous tune, I'm Shipping Up To Boston.
The raucous tune has been used by many a fighter to enter the ring over the years and the sight of Joe Biden walking, arms raised, down a slight ramp to the stage in front of St Muredach's Cathedral reminded some viewers of the WWE.
