Cork City Sports off to flying start

The warm weather attracted a large crowd to the Mardyke for the 52nd running of the BUPA Ireland Cork City Sports on Saturday.

A colourful opening ceremony saw children waving the flags of the 30-plus countries represented at the Cork venue.

The children were led by a traditional pipe band and there was an official opening speech from the Lord Mayor of Cork, Councillor John Kelleher.
