So emotional! Tears of JOY as Irish troops return home from Lebanon

Dublin Airport was FULL of emotions yesterday as family members and loved ones welcomed their troops home after serving six months in Lebanon.

There was no time wasted either – as soon as little ones caught a glimpse of their parents, they were running right over for hugs and kisses.

The airport erupted in cheer as the 51st Infantry Group, United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) returned home to Terminal One in Dublin Airport at 6.30am.

There were a total of 190 members on the flight home, and the footage taken by RTÉ really pulls at the heart strings.

Watch the video to see the happy reunions:
