Adam King to blast into Dublin’s St Patrick's Day parade in space shuttle

Late Late Toy Show hero dam King is set to blast into Dublin’s St Patrick's Day parade in a space shuttle.

The Hugs For You lad - who stole the hearts of the nation on the Toy Show back in 2020 - will lead the “Heroes of the Pandemic” section of the annual parade.

According to the organisers, Adam will be "accompanied by one of his own personal heroes and surrounded by astronauts, aliens and stars.

"In his wake is our own green planet beautifully clad in drawings, photos and letters created by the people of Ireland in celebration of the heroes that helped them make it through the pandemic."

Taking to social media, Adam's Adventures posted: “Some big announcements coming in the next few weeks...here's the first!

“We are SO EXCITED that we are going to be in this year's Dublin @stpatricksfest! Our Pageant is called ‘Heroes’

“More updates on this, and how you can all get involved, very soon!”

Adam will be backed by a troupe of Cork kids from the Sinead Sheppar Dance School, as well as some frontline workers who will be honoured on March 17 for their work during the pandemic.
