Teddy bears emerge as stars in ‘at home’ St Patrick’s Day parades across Ireland

Families following the self isolation advice made their own fun despite the coronavirus lock down and rain across the day.

Teddy bears and toys were the guests of honour in the at home parades staged in back gardens and living rooms across Ireland.
