St Patrick’s Day brought bagpipes, drums, and plenty of Irish pride to the streets of American cities like Boston and New York City.

Organised by local plumbers, the eco-friendly, secret-formula powder turned the water green for several hours.
President Donald Trump took part in St Patrick’s Day festivities himself, hosting Irish Taoiseach Michael Martin in the Oval Office.
