It was all Guinness, shamrocks and silly hats this weekend as Islanders battled the cold to party in the name of Ireland’s patron saint.

ScillyNews caught up with revellers drinking themselves green at the Bishop, Atlantic and Scillonian Club on Friday night. Amongst them were lovebirds Richard and Jessica Keast from Penzance, who are honeymooning on St Mary’s after a summer 2005 proposal on the ramparts of the Star Castle. Congratulations to them.
