Parnell Square, opposite Rotunda Hospital. Waiting for President Kennedy to drive past during his visit. Dublin 1963.

A marching band in dark uniforms and sailor-style hats proceeds down Parnell Square, where crowds have gathered to await President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade during his 1963 visit to Dublin. Spectators line the sidewalks and watch from the windows of buildings opposite the Rotunda Hospital. Signs for businesses, including the Electrical Trades Union, are visible among the onlookers, while an American flag hanging from a lamppost marks the occasion.
