The Rose, whose parents are both from Limerick, was presented with the famous sash by last year’s Rose, Rachel Duffy during the final night of the Rose of Tralee Festival.
The madness of the Rose of Tralee is over and done with for another year, but the quintessentially Irish celebration has given us plenty of moments to look back on. From quirky party pieces to moving stories, the audience was taken on an emotional rollercoaster as this year’s Roses – and the hosts – gave it their all.
