More joy: Northern Ireland

Day -487. WorldCup2018

For the last three days it's been great goals that I have been celebrating, goals that brought me happiness. And ecstasy for the commentators.

Today it's the fans. When there's a multitude of issues going on in your life or across the world what better antidote is there than losing yourself in the celebration of your team's win, or a goal, with thousands of other people that you don't know.

These are Northern Ireland fans in Belfast during last summer's Euros. Yes, there may be beer involved which may have helped turn the joy into the unconfined variety, but there is lots of it. And everybody needs to sing and dance like this at some point.

(Neil Diamond is probably very happy to know that his music can do this to people, but probably surprised that they're football supporters.)
