Lego superfans have flocked to the company's first dedicated shop in Ireland on its opening day.

Finn Ryan, the Waterford boy who stole hearts after his appearance on the Late Late Toy Show last year, officially opened the store on Grafton Street in Dublin.

The store features several eye-catching Lego models inspired by Dublin and Irish culture, such as a camogie player, the Poolbeg chimneys and the Aviva Stadium.

Customers can create personalised products, including their own Lego mini figure.
