St Patrick's Day celebrations move online

St Patrick's Day celebrations will once again be different this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Traditional parades in Belfast and Dublin have been cancelled for the second year in a row, with many events across the island again moving online.

However, in the United States, some long-standing traditions will persist, such as the Chicago River being dyed green to celebrate Ireland's patron saint.

Although large gatherings have been ruled out in many parts of the world, attempts have been made to mark 17 March in true Irish style.
