The Aran Islands St. Patrick's Day Parade is the most Irish thing you'll ever see

The parade took place on Inis Mór and featured local industries and musicians - and a lovely horse.

While cities around the world were laying on lavish St. Patrick's Day parades full of spectacle and wonder, the Aran Islands were holding their own far more low-key version.

Taking place on Inis Mór (population of around 800), kids, grannies, builders mixing cement, tractors, trad musicians and a lovely horse all travel by on floats with the Atlantic Ocean sparkling in the background.

And while some commenters on Facebook are understandably a bit bemused by the whole thing (and others scathing of the islands' effort), most agreed that the parade definitely has its own charm.

It's funny, surreal and a bit shoddy - which makes it a pretty fitting tribute to our nation and its patron saint.
