    NEW YORK, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of bagpipers, drummers, police officers, firemen, U.S. army soldiers and high school students made their way up Manhattan's Fifth Avenue despite the chilly weather for the 246th annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday.

    Ten to 15 times more spectators donning green hats, green coats, flashing green necklaces and shamrock stickers lined up the streets behind police barricades for the nation's oldest event, even 14 years older than the Declaration of Independence.
