Only 1 parade in Armagh. The brethern struggling.
Tandragee would be very very staunch
Edward Stevenson, Grand Master of the Orange Lodge of Ireland, at the South Londondry demonstration
I wonder is he anything to th Stevensons of 1970s Londondry GGA fame
Now off to Lisnaskea, a real orange town if ever there was
Likewise with Pomeroy, not a Taig to be seen there
Motorbikes, Tayto and the Orange Order the three big passions there
Brendan Rodgers soaking up the atmosphere at the Carnlough march there
His heart is blue now since leaving Celtic for Leicester
BBC NI are very good at giving equal coverage to rural and urban demonstrations . Montroseās Dublin centric management should take note . I would HQ the national broadcaster in Belfast in a United ireland .
A holiday atmosphere at sunny Rossnowlagh as usual
And some beached whales showing up to march as a bonus
Tim with the orange hat & geoff with the stripey trackies. Pure kkkultur
Dog fighting is Tandrageeās big sporting passion
Lovely blend of country and western, disco and orange music here
So romantic hearing the story of how Avril and Samuel met
The local Orange hall, the ballroom of romance
Another man met his wife on a night when there were 300 girls sitting around in the Andrews Memorial Hall in Comber
The talent at Orange halls on a Saturday night is unreal
Kicks the shit out of Planet Murphys on Camden Street circa 1999
Traffic lights in Belfast showing green this year
Thatās a departure from previous years when the lights were always stuck on orange
The uppity Taigsā growing influence is worrying
Economic concerns hitting banners now
Many lodges opting for smaller ābannerettesā
I donāt think that means Clare girls
I hope Brexit doesnāt kill the giant 12th banner
Cave Hill lodge, Belfastās newest lodge, on their second 12th parade
Great to see new lodges emerging
Theyāre known locally as the Cavemen
That bannerettes quip deserved to be in Italics. Has there been much talk about Brexit or Boris?
Dunloyās Diana Culbertson with a lovely Scauts-Ayrish brogue here
Iād say she loves the camogie
She plays the accordion
Be class if she came down to the Fleadh
Thereās a great crossover between the majorette skills of US high school football cheerleaders and the majorette skills of lads from Orange lodges
They should do an exchange for the craic
Helen Mark plays us out with the sights and sounds of the 12th
A banner with āThe Duke Of Yorkā on it on the closing montage
The Epstein theme goes on
And thatās it
Goodbye Glorious Twelfth for another year
Pity you donāt piss off with them for a year.
Do BBC NI show the all inclusive St. Patrickās day parade?
