London’s St Patrick’s Day Parade took place on Sunday 16 March, starting at Hyde Park Corner at 12 noon, and was very similar, though perhaps larger and more slow moving, to the 2024 Parade.

Although many of the participants and onlookers wore green, there were few bunches of live shamrock seen, and most of those which were worn were rather desiccated.   As in 2024 a large number of South American dance groups added colour to the proceedings.
