Weatherday: A nation's flag

Another bright and sunny start, and remaining dry with good sunny spells through the day. Some cloud won't interfere much.

Temperatures 11-14deg in light to moderate breezes from the south.

On this day in 1848, the tricolour flag that became Ireland's national colours was shown in public for the first time, by Thomas Francis Meagher and the Young Ireland Party.
