A plethora of Irish sports stars marked the centenary of the 1916 Rising in style on Sunday, and if you're waking up to a breakfast of Berocca Boost and shame, so did you.

Sunday marked the 100 year anniversary of the most significant uprising in Irish history, with the Rising being commemorated with a host of events around the country. Everyone was in a patriotic mood over the weekend, including our nation's sports stars who were really getting into the celebrations judging by their activity on social media. No frills from the soccer players Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. https://twitter.com/JamesMcC14/status/714071783444504576?lang=en https://twitter.com/Paulmcgrath5/status/714379869501710337 The Notorious wore his finest Andre 3000 suit to mark the event https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/714177815189590016 https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/714153159585869824 Classy stuff from the Punisher https://twitter.com/Pendred/status/714171074754297856 "Y'all" Brian Gregan 1916 Two very different kinds of photobombing. https://twitter.com/bernardbrogan/status/714127407893114880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/NeilSeeryMMA/status/714177334425874432 Spike's a poet There are unconfirmed reports that he knows it. https://twitter.com/spike_osullivan/status/714200318867873792 The fightin' Irish P Holohan 1916 https://twitter.com/John_Kavanagh/status/714123002015846404 Not to mention the massive chocolate eggs https://twitter.com/GoCiaran/status/714111549221134336
