Irish fans break into song when they spot Ruby Walsh on flight

As planes packed with Irish fans head to France, one Ryanair flight had a special guest.

Ruby Walsh was spotted by other passengers and they proceeded to burst into song.

He looks a tiny bit mortified, but Walsh and the other passengers were certainly feeling Irish pride on what looked like a great flight.

Walsh went to France to ride Un De Sceaux in the French Champion Hurdle in Auteuil and claimed victory with Footpad in the Grade One Prix Alain du Breil.

He will surely be supporting the boys in green as well.

We hope he didn’t think he’d go unnoticed!

We’re sure the journey continued with the Kaiser Chiefs’ Ruby and maybe some of Christy Moore’s The Ballad of Ruby Walsh.
