10 years ago, this week, it really was the high point of Limerick, National City of Culture because the granny, Royal de Luxe's granny, came to the streets of Limerick. It was a fabulous time for anyone who lived through it and here is just a reminder of some of the reactions. One, two cars driving on top of another one, Daddy down there, whoa, it's so big and giant. It's a great day for Limerick City, we're all so proud, fantastic granny, get the greatest leg. She is so cool. She's on a wheelchair? I know. She was big. I know. She's humongous. My second year going to see Granny, it's spectacular, yeah. Even just seeing the guys in the race, not only gave you big, it just gave you an insight into how big she really is, you know, and just the water has gone in, it's very, very enjoyable, yeah. Our bones are at her, she won't be able to get off so quickly, got over. The crowds are fantastic to come out, I cannot but thank them enough for what they've done for us. Take a selfie, take a look at your dog face. I came just for Royal Deluxe. I went to Nantes to see them, to see when they were earlier productions, I also went to Berlin to see the production they did there. I am so thrilled to be able to say it was a spectacular event that it was, but apart from that we had fabulous weather, we had crowds that were enormous, but I have to say that the crowds were absolutely brilliant. How old is she actually? 85. 85 is it? Wow, very good. Oh, it's absolutely amazing, incredible. Really good buzz around the race as well, fantastic. Whoa! Laura, what do you think of this? What do you think? Good. It's good? Good. What's Granny like? Mazzo. I just can't hear anything. Great memories, aren't they? Do you remember Granny in Limerick, that giant, and the fun that was had across that weekend, the real highlight of National City of Culture when it was in Limerick 10 years ago this week since the Granny was here, would you believe, how time flies?
