Twelfth of July: Annual event spans the generations for Keady family

The Orange Order will be putting on Twelfth of July parades in cities and towns across Northern Ireland this coming Wednesday to mark King William's victory over King James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

The Co Armagh demonstration – which will be held in Lurgan this year – is now very firmly established as the largest Orange gathering in the world on the day and encompasses the full range of the Orange Family.

A total of 11 District Lodges will be on parade, with 150 Private Lodges and almost 5,000 Brethren; in addition, ladies from the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland will take part, along with a number of Junior Boys and Junior Girls Lodges.
