PHOTOS: The Pride Celebrations In Dublin Today Were Really Special

It's been an incredible year for Ireland and the overwhelming vote in favour of legalising same-sex marriage was definitely the highlight. So, we knew this year's annual gay pride celebration in Dublin was going to be a serious party. Kicking off just 24 hours after the announcement that the US has also legalised gay marriage, thousands of people have thronged the streets to mark the special occasion and it's fair to say that it's been a massive success. Here are some of the best pics from the day...
