A huge crowd is expected for the Leeds St Patrick’s Day Parade which will be happening in the city for the first time in two years.
The parade, usually held annually, was one of many Yorkshire events impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and lots of people will be delighted to see it return.
It will be happening on Sunday, March 13 with the parade featuring floats, bands, displays and there will be representatives from Irish organisations, schools, clubs and societies from across Leeds.
