WATCH: Spine-tingling rendition of Fields of Athenry reverberates through Parisian streets

They've taken over

Patrick McCarry

Good grief this is amazing.

The Irish fans are partying it up in the city of lights and getting up to all sorts of merry antics.

With Ireland’s Euro 2016 opener with Sweden mere hours away, hundreds of our fans decamped to Place de Clichy to get involved in the revelry.

Locals have been embraced by the Irish as they dance and sing on the streets with traffic slowed to a crawl.

One of the best scenes of an already memorable day has to be the Fields of Athenry singing that filled the packed square and must have been heard all the way out at Stade de France, in Saint Denis.

Rousing stuff.
