St Patrick's Day in London 2009

 

St Patrick's Day - Tuesday 17th March 2009
 
Although St Patrick's Day falls on 17th March, this year the green themed London parade and patriotic partying in celebration of Ireland's patron saint takes place on Sunday 15th March. It's a celebration of Ireland and the Irish in London, with all-day pub sessions and services taking place across London's Catholic churches. But it's also a party for all, with restaurants and pubs serving Dublin bay oysters washed down with pints of Guinness.
