Our favourite photos of past St Patrick's Day parades in Cork

We want to hear about your memories of the rebel county's March 17 celebrations as we round up our favorite photographs of parades past

Crowds fill the streets at the 1956 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Cork city.

Many things have changed since the world started celebrating our patron saint, with the first Saint Patrick’s Day parade recorded in New York City in 1762.

One of those changes, of course, was the name of this proud newspaper, with The Cork Examiner recording the rebel county's own inaugural March 17 parade in 1872, when thousands gathered around Cork City centre.
