Thousands of Orangemen, women and juniors – accompanied by in the region of 600 marching bands – are preparing to step out at various locations across Northern Ireland for this year's Twelfth celebrations.
Preparations are at an advanced stage for the biggest day in the parading calendar, with upwards of an estimated half-a-million people expected to participate or spectate in what is widely regarded as one of the largest annual festivals in Europe.
This year the GB News cameras will be focusing on Belfast, as the city hosts the longest Twelfth parade on the day, with participants walking over six miles to the field. A large contingent of Scottish visitors travel to take part in the Belfast parade.
