Overview

The opening of the carnival in Belfast is led by a fancy dress parade through the city centre before the Lord Mayor and other dignitaries make speeches at Celtic Park. The festival spirit is evident in the crowds and parading revellers, including a team of women in Celtic kits. Rides and stalls at the funfair look enticing, but a group of children are much more fascinated by the camera.
