Twelfth 2022: BBC release details on Twelfth programme after axing live coverage

Details on the BBC's coverage of the Twelfth of July parades have been released after the announcement it was axing its live coverage.

Earlier this month it was confirmed the live coverage of the Belfast parade, which has been televised by the BBC for decades, was being axed. The Orange Order said the decision "defies logic" and said it was "hard to accept this as anything other than a further snub to the wider Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist Community and our culture".

On Thursday, BBC Northern Ireland released details on its planned coverage which will be an hour-long television special of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland’s Twelfth of July demonstrations.
