Dougie Beattie has kicked off GB News’s Celebrate Britain celebrations with a display of Irish culture in the UK.
The reporter, a veteran of The People's Channel for five years, sailed past the Titanic slipway in Belfast on the Lady of the Lagan as a traditional Irish band performed with dancers.
The Brady family were on board to provide the full works, featuring violins, a guitar and pipes.
“We have the Flower Festival on in Belfast all this week. It's a celebration of all that is Irish music, history and culture,” Dougie said.
“And of course that includes the UK side of that. There's a great melting pot of culture in Ireland, north and south, and indeed with Scotland.”
