Gardai share heartwarming photo of kind-hearted officer helping old woman carry her shopping in Marlay Park

Gardai shared a heartwarming picture of a Marlay Park resident being helped by an officer.

Garda Keiran Kehoe from Bray Garda Station helped the old woman carry her shopping home near the Longitude Festival.

The picture shows the kind-hearted officer carrying two shopping bags as he walks alongside the resident.

The caption read: "Garda Keiran Kehoe Bray Garda Station helping a nearby resident with her shopping near the Longitude festival at Marley Park today."

Meanwhile a warning about the "potential for violence" has been issued by the US State Department for Travel about the Longitude Festival taking place in Dublin this weekend.

Gardai have said a "full and comprehensive" policing plan is in place for the annual event, which is taking place in Marlay Park until Sunday.

They even kept the public updated during last night's set, and said "nothing to see here folks except good fun, good music and above all a very enjoyable evening."

The warning on the State Department's website reads: "Reports indicate a potential for violence at the Longitude Festival taking place from July 5-7, 2019, in Marlay Park, Dublin.

"Local police are aware of the threat and will conduct comprehensive bag and person searches. The police have increased event security and are monitoring the situation."
