In pictures: Tyneside Irish host Shamrock Ball

THE annual St Patrick’s Day Líonra Shamrock Ball in Newcastle attracted a great turn out on Saturday.

The event at the Hilton, Gateshead, raised money for Lionra’s two main charities, Percy Hedley and PSPA and included special guest and Patron of Lionra, Viscount Crichton.

Global consultancy firm Blackswan were among the main supporters of the night, which was also sponsored by Lloyd BMW, Aer Lingus, Lagan, Courage Creative, Guinness, Accent & North East Times and Bang & Olufsen.
