A council in Yorkshire has apologised after flying the wrong flag for St Patricks Day.
The red dragon of Wales was spotted fluttering above Sheffield's Town Hall on Sunday 17 March, instead of the tricolour of Ireland.
The city council then added to the confusion by issuing an initial statement which included congratulations to the Welsh rugby union team following its Grand Slam in the Six Nations, when they defeated Ireland.
A Sheffield City Council spokesperson has since released a statement, saying the authority is “very sorry that the Welsh flag was raised in error.”
