Bill Clinton surprised shoppers in Dublin this afternoon

Imagine just minding your own business in a shop in Dublin City centre and in walks Bill Clinton? Well, that's exactly what happened today.

Bill was in the country to attend the funeral of Martin McGuinness yesterday and later travelled down to Dublin where he spent the night having dinner with Denis O'Brien and hotelier John Fitzpatrick. Then today, he took a whole shop by surprise when he went on a shopping spree in the Kilkenny Shop on Nassau Street in Dublin. People out for the day were able to shop alongside the ex-President.

He even left with a bunch of daffodils for Irish Cancer Society's Daffodil Day.
