Parents line up for the ice cream van outside Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork. Their kids are somewhere nearby, out of sight behind the wall.
Two women carrying balloons and a large fake champagne bottle up the steps of a narrow lane. Bet they had a party that night!
I’ve only been to a few point to point or other horse races, but you can rely on there being bookies present to take your money.
