Patrick Kielty has been announced as the Grand Marshal for this year’s St Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin.
The Late Late show host will lead over 4,000 performers and musicians through the streets of the capital next month.
Half a million people are expected to line the route, in what organisers say is set to be the largest ever national St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Patrick Kielty says he's honored to be this year's Grand Marshal.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be this year’s Grand Marshal and can’t thank the Festival enough for asking me to be part of our biggest day.
"It’s such a honour to be asked and I was genuinely gobsmacked when the call came in.
"When you’re lucky enough to be called Patrick, St Patrick’s Day always feels like an extra birthday and I can’t wait to get the world’s biggest party started on March 17th."
