The float is decorated with an Irish flag, gold coins, and cityscape imagery with police badges. A person in a green and white striped prisoner costume with a colorful wig stands at the edge, adding to the lively atmosphere. The parade is taking place on a street lined with leafless trees and a church visible in the background, under an overcast sky.
