Gallery: Navan St Patrick's Day Parade

There were fantastic turnouts around the county as communities came out to support their local St Patrick's Day parades.

In Navan, thousands lined the streets for the parade led by the Army Reserve Colour Party and Capt John McNamara with local emergency services following behind including Meath Civil Defence, Meath Fire Service and Meath River Rescue.

Sporting Clubs including Bective GFC, Navan Rugby Club, Navan Town Cosmos, Parkvilla, Simonstown GAA, Walterstown and O'Mahonys as well as Johnstown FC made plenty of noise in front of the viewing stand which included MC Cllr Padraig Fitzsimons, Navan Mayor Cllr Eddie Fennessy and Senator Linda Nelson Murray.

The K&S Accordian Band, the Irish National Forresters Band provided plenty of colour and music and there was a great reception for grand marshal of the Navan parade, campaigner Ger Cullen from TAG Austism.
