The annual St Patrick's Day parade of Irish floats begins its amble from Green Park, along Piccadilly and down to Trafalgar Square at noon with marching bands, dancers and community representatives – not to mention the 36-metre-long Puca, a giant inflatable dragon. In Trafalgar Square, there will be traditional and contemporary Irish music and dance on the main stage includingYngve & The Innocent (12.40pm), Kayna featuring Damien O'Kane (1.50pm), and Crossharbour (2.30pm), along with other activities and events. For the first time the festival will feature a comedy tent, hosted by the London Irish Comedy Festival, and a film tent, screening shorts by Irish filmmakers. A special food market and kids' area are just some of the other attractions on offer at this day-long festival.

I agree with Brad and was just about to write something along similar lines. It's nothing against the Irish, the Scots or the Welsh but why do we not see our own national day being celebrated? Also, do you think a St George day parade would go down well in Edinburgh, Cardiff or Belfast (or Cork)? What on earth is this all about?

why are we continuing with this ridiculous celebration of a foreign national holiday in times of such financial hardship when we do not even bother celebrating our own national day? It defies logic. Time to stop this celebration in London.
