Tens of thousands of people are marching in Northern Ireland today for the Orange Order's annual Twelfth parades. The celebrations mark 336 years since the Battle of the Boyne, when the Protestant King William of Orange defeated Catholic King James II. As this year July 12 fell on a Sunday, a day of rest, the participants are celebrating the traditional parades at the next possible opportunity, which is today. Events are taking place in 18 main locations throughout the region, with the largest celebrations being held in County Armagh and Belfast. Forecasters are predicting warm and sunny conditions for the day's festivities, while the Orange Order's Grand Master Harold Henning has praised today as a celebration of 230 years of parading. #UKNews #NorthernIreland #Parade #GBNews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
