Picture: Famous sites start turning green for St. Patrick’s Day

Paddy's Day is just around the corner and a few of the most famous sites in Ireland are beginning to turn green in celebration.

Sites around Ireland have started turning green in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, and down at Trinity they had a fantastic display on the face of the historic entrance.

Both Dublin Airport and the United States Embassy also got in on the act, with some equally great displays.

While it seems that Dublin has been the most active, the lads at the Clarion down in Limerick weren't going to miss out on all the craic, and with the tallest hotel in Ireland, they made good use of it by lighting it up green in celebration.

This is just the beginning of the celebrations though, and there'll be plenty more sites both at home and around the world donning the green of the Emerald Isle come Paddy's day for the celebrations.
