St Patrick’s Day revelers will likely wake up with headaches today after millions of people downed pints of Guinness and donned leprechaun hats and shamrocks while celebrating the Irish holiday.

The streets of London, Leeds and Newcastle were among those teeming with huge crowds all day yesterday and well into the night, with many revelers masked by flags and dressed in green.

Huge parades of Irish brass bands, dance troupes and sculptures marched through towns and villages across the country to celebrate Ireland’s patron saint. The London parade was the largest in the UK with around 50,000 participants.

There were huge queues outside Ireland’s biggest bars with a sea of ​​green waiting to get into London’s Waxy O’Connor’s, which is popular for its live music at the six-story Soho venue .

And there will be a few headaches this morning after consuming millions of pints of Guinness.
