King Puck 'goes up' in Killorglin during his especially cooled coronation 

A wild mountain goat is crowned 'King Puck' by Alesha Williams, Queen of Puck Fair at the annual crowning ceremony in the town square, Killorglin on Wednesday evening.

The sun smiled on one of the most anticipated Puck Fairs in living memory on Wednesday drawing record crowds to Killorglin from early morning to await the coronation of a mountain goat.

Puck Fair is the ancient festival where “the goat is king and the people act the goat“ in the immortal words of fair president Declan Mangan.
