690 landmarks turned a familiar shade of shamrock green last night, as the world marked a subdued St Patrick s Day.
The Irish national holiday on 17 March has been adopted as an international celebration of the Emerald Isle, stout ale and
bráithreachas. However with much of the world still affected by Coronavirus restrictions, many of the traditions and parties could not take place.
However, one of the newest traditions was able not only to go ahead, but to grow in scale.
The Global Greening is in its 12 year, which sees global landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil being lit in green light.
