Cystic Fibrosis campaigner Jillian McNulty had the honour of leading today's Longford St Patrick's Day parade as Grand Marshal which was hailed as a 'fantastic' triumph.

Cllr Gerry Warnock posted on Facebook: "Absolutely fantastic job on the Longford Parade!! Massive well done to everyone who participated especially the volunteers! Special mention for Niamh Donlon who put her heart and soul into creating a beautiful event for the people of Longford."
