Why so blue?... Global Smurfs Day in pictures

To celebrate, the Ha’Penny Bridge will be all Smurfed out with thousands of blue flowers, a blue carpet and blue balloons.

IT’S GLOBAL SMURFS Day and to celebrate, the Ha’Penny Bridge will be all Smurfed out with thousands of blue flowers, a blue carpet and blue balloons.

Meanwhile in Brussels, Smurf-ambassadors from 40 different countries have gathered – the Irish Smurf Ambassador is Susan Jordan from Clonsilla.

The celebration honours Smurfs creator Pierre “Peyo” Culliford as it falls on the same day as his birthday.
