Geisha among leprechauns
Mayor of London Boris Johnson called on Irish people to help take their spirit into this summer’s “O’Lympics” as he took part in St Patrick’s Day festivities.
He joined thousands of revellers, including Irish Olympians and Paralympians, for the annual parade of colourful floats. It ended in a festival of music, dance, crafts and food at Trafalgar Square.
Japanese performers, above, including a Geisha, Maikos and traditional performers, as well as UK-based Japanese nationals from the Wakayanagi school of Japanese dancing, were among those taking part.
