Last night.

Phoenix Park, Dublin

Dustin the Turkey is ‘pardoned’ by Reece Smyth, Chargé d’Affaires at the United States embassy, at a Thanksgiving Reception at the US Ambassador’s residence.

On the last Thursday in November, the US President grants last minute clemency to a hand-selected turkey, sparing the bird from someone’s Thanksgiving dinner table.

Dustin time, you might say.

We’ll see ourselves out.
