Hollywood movie star Liam Neeson was in the Aras today meeting with President Michael D Higgins.
Neeson, who is from Ballymena, was awarded for his work with Unicef and for being a world renowned actor.
The 6ft 4″ actor made the President get a sore neck staring up at him. He said that he was proud to be Irish and fly the flag for Irish arts around the world.
Neeson will be interviewed later on this evening on the Late Late Show by host Ryan Tubridy.
