Thousands gather to see brilliant battle of the bands

More than 40,000 people gathered in Limerick on Sunday for the International Band Parade, which saw musicians from across the world perform on the streets of the city.

Always a highlight of the St Patrickโ€™s Day festivities in Limerick, this yearโ€™s event saw the University of Southern Mississippi crowned overall winners.

The final performance of the day, the 160 strong band proved they were certainly worth the wait as they enthralled spectators with a rousing version of Michael Jacksonโ€™s classic hit Thriller.
