REUNIONS, RALLIES, SPRING sunshine – and the birth of Superbaby.

This is how the week looked to us:

The week in photos
1 / 14

  • Tread carefully...

    Tens of thousands of people cross Taiping Bridge in the 200-year-old bridge-treading fair in Jushui town, China.

  • Having a daff

    Taoiseach Enda Kenny launches the annual Daffodil Day in aid of the Irish Cancer Society. There is no truth in the rumour that he brought a bunch of daffs for every EU leader at the summit this week.

  • Perfect poise

    China's Qin Kai performs during the men's 3m springboard final at the FINA/Midea Diving World Series competition in Beijing, China.

  • Oh crumbs...

    If biscuits could be sad... this is the reject bin of broken and overbaked biscuits at the The McVitie's Biscuit factory in Stockport, England.

  • Can you hear me now?

    An owl eyes butterfly perches on the ear of a biologist at the new Rainforest Butterfly Farm in Panama City.

  • Superbaby

    Ana Lucia da Silva Pereira and Carlos Eduardo Mendes watch over their new-born Gustavo in Salvador, Brazil. Gustavo was born weighing 15.4lbs and measuring 1.7ft long.

  • Myanmar earthquake

    Residents walk along a road damaged by an earthquake in Tarlay, Shan state, Myanmar - dozens of people were killed in the quake yesterday.

  • Philippines against family planning

    A rally headed by the Catholic Church against the pending Reproductive Health Bill in Manila, Philippines.

  • Pitstop

    Skiers pause at the top of Cypress Mountain to watch as the sun goes down over the Strait of Georgia in North Vancouver, Canada.

  • Bird eat fish

    A seagull tries to eat a starfish on the docks at Granville Island in Canada.

  • Some sort of normality

    Two residents enjoy a reunion chat are reunited two weeks after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in a makeshift public bath set up outside a shelter by Japan Ground Self-Defense Force personnel in Yamamoto, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

  • Nice weather we're having, eh?

    Ireland and Europe has been enjoying spring sunshine this week - this pelican joins the sunbathing in a park in Essen, Germany.

  • What? I'm scratching my philtrum.

  • Modest harvest
