Rain teemed down relentlessly and the wind held a biting chill but the man beneath the hobbyhorse was rearing to giddy up - and the first 'Wren' was out. The first group of four was on the march in Dingle, Co Kerry, for the annual Wren's Day parade. At the junction with John Street, the Sráid Éoin Wren held back at their starting point outside the Barrack Heights, giving way until the rival group had passed. At the junction of Main Street and Green Street, the Goat Street Wren was waiting to let the first group pass before it began its first round of the town.
