Tipperary's Rachael Blackmore buddies up with Paul Mescal and Tom Grennan at All-Ireland final

Retired Tipperary jockey Rachael Blackmore was seated in a bit of a celebrity corner at today's All-Ireland final, as part of a BBC half-time interview during the game she was sat alongside actor Paul Mescal and singer Tom Grennan who were all in attendance to see Tipperary's win over Cork.

The British public broadcaster showed the match live on TV across the UK and had the trio on hand to give a bit of an explainer on the importance of an All-Ireland final for those that might have watched from abroad or for the first time.

The energy amongst the group was electric with Mescal saying "I'm so glad it's being shown across the UK because it is a huge cultural moment every year. It's a massive event for Irish people across the world. It's not just the people living in Ireland, it's for the diaspora and everybody else."

"This is the pinnacle of Irish sport. It is the absolute pinnacle and you have to be here to fully get the atmosphere."

Tom Grennan, whose father is from Offaly added: "I've got my dad with me. He has worn the Offaly shirt, but to be here and just to see everybody mixing... like if you saw this at a North London derby that wouldn't be the case. You'd have one half and one half where everybody's mixes, a sea of different colours. It's a beautiful thing."
