The Twelfth of July Demonstration - Greyabbey 2022

Thousands of people are marching at 18 locations across Northern Ireland to mark the Twelfth of July.


The annual Orange Order parades celebrate the Battle of the Boyne when William of Orange - also known as King Billy - defeated the Catholic King James II in 1690.


On 12 July, marching bands from Orange lodges parade through villages, towns and cities.


The night before, hundreds of bonfires are lit across Northern Ireland.


Known as the Eleventh Night. it is usually one of the busiest nights of the year for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service but it has recorded a fall in the number of bonfire-related call-outs.

The 11 and 12 July also involve the largest policing operation mounted each year.
