YOUNGSTERS put on their dancing shoes to celebrate St Patrick’s Day yesterday.

For the fifth year, pupils from St Mary’s Catholic School, in Bicester, showed off their Irish dancing skills at Cherwell Valley Services to mark the day.

Pupils have lessons every Tuesday with the Marion Flanagan School of Irish Dancing Oxford.

Iona, 10, said: “It was really good fun. I have been learning Irish dancing since I was in Year Two, so I’m used to the performances and don’t get nervous.”
