Hundreds of people gathered at Merrion Square in Dublin on Sunday for a Yes Equality event organised by LGBT noise.

Gay and lesbian choir Gloria treated the crowd to renditions of I can't help falling in love with you and Abba's Mamma Mia.

The choir called for a yes vote in the same-sex marriage referendum and told the crowd “you can’t help who you fall in love with”.

Members of the crowd held up placards with the word ‘equal’.
