Thousands celebrate The Quiet Man’s 60th
Ms O’Hara, 91, was last night welcomed back by a Quiet Man-themed parade, as residents of the Co Mayo village and even a handful of surviving extras from the classic movie dressed up in period costume and made their way from the Catholic Church to the Celtic Cross.
The welcome parade, which was led by a pipe band, marked the start of a special festival to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the movie, which also starred John Wayne.
