In pictures: Derrymacash celebrates St Patrick's Day with parade and community events

There was a real community spirit in Derrymacash for this year’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

The parade began as usual at St Patrick's Primary School and made its way to Wolfe Tones GAC for more fun and activities.
