A red carpet has been rolled out across the HaÂ’penny bridge in Dublin as it celebrates itÂ’s 200th birthday.

The bridge replaced a ferry crossing over the River Liffey in 1816, with a toll of a haÂ’penny to cross the city between north and south.

David Windsor and his family have flown over from the UK to celebrate today’s anniversary - because they're related to the original designer, John Windsor.
