Kate always looks so glam and she rocked the best green look when she stepped out for the annual parade. She finished her outfit off with a black belt and matching boots.

With the shamrock being a key symbol of Irish identity, it's hugely symbolic for the plant to be offered on St Patrick's Day. As part of the annual parade, Kate was seen handing sprigs out for the officers.
