:00:09. > :00:08.Welcome to our look back at the Twelfth as the Orange Order
:00:09. > :00:11.marks the 324th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
:00:12. > :00:16.Later in the programme we'll be taking a closer look at some of the
:00:17. > :00:22.history and traditions of Orangeism and how plans are progressing to
:00:23. > :00:27.precious film of the Twelfth of July over 90 years ago.
:00:28. > :00:44.Good morning from our commentary at some of
:00:45. > :00:51.Good morning from our commentary position as the parade makes its way
:00:52. > :00:58.along Bedford Street on the way to the field. I joined this morning by
:00:59. > :01:02.an Irish historian. Good morning. I am wondering whether you can
:01:03. > :01:08.remember back many years to witnessing your first Twelfth
:01:09. > :01:16.parade. It was in the middle of the 1960s. I was struck by the men's
:01:17. > :01:20.size. It took three hours to pass. -- in men's size. The difference
:01:21. > :01:27.between now and then is that there were like pipe bands, brass and
:01:28. > :01:35.silver bands, it was very elegant and I was astonished. At the head of
:01:36. > :01:50.the parade, the County Ground Orange Lodge of Belfast -- Grand. The
:01:51. > :02:07.Miller memorial flute band following. -- Miller Memorial Flute
:02:08. > :02:14.Band. Scotland is well represented. Guests include the deputy Grand
:02:15. > :02:40.Master from Glasgow. -- Deputy Grand Master. This scene always attracts a
:02:41. > :02:43.very big crowd in Bedford Street. The traffic islands do not interfere
:02:44. > :02:51.too much with the Order of the parade. Big crowds, very big crowds.
:02:52. > :02:56.You wonder if that is because of the lovely sunny morning we usually
:02:57. > :03:01.have. The threat of rain has not diminished the size of the crowds
:03:02. > :03:09.here. At very big and colourful spectacle. -- a very big. Some of
:03:10. > :03:17.the bands have military style uniforms. One of the changes that
:03:18. > :03:21.you would have noticed over the years is the fact that we do not
:03:22. > :03:36.have lamb baby drums in the parade in Belfast any more -- Lambeg. There
:03:37. > :03:41.are also no pipe bands. Those bands are keen on competitions. The lack
:03:42. > :03:50.of Lambeg drums is because of their size. They are three feet in
:03:51. > :03:58.diameter and way up to ?40. It is too much to walk the full length to
:03:59. > :04:09.the field. Especially as the speed of the procession increased. There
:04:10. > :04:14.are 17 demonstrations across Northern Ireland today. Belfast is
:04:15. > :04:19.the largest web around 60 bands, many of them Scottish, accompanying
:04:20. > :04:48.Orangemen and women from various districts. Very smart military
:04:49. > :04:59.uniforms. Again, the look is as it would have been a century ago. Quite
:05:00. > :05:05.an noisy scene here. That is part of what the Twelfth is all about. The
:05:06. > :05:12.drummers are special to this procession. They got started in the
:05:13. > :05:20.early 19th century in Enniskillen, there were up to 140 banners, all
:05:21. > :05:32.showing King Billy crossing the Boyne. -- banners. Painters often
:05:33. > :05:37.worked from a glass slide of the scene before painting it onto a
:05:38. > :05:43.banner. Lodges are meeting across the country and while some are in
:05:44. > :05:49.cities, many are based in rural areas. Claire McCollum has been to
:05:50. > :05:50.the kingdom of Mourne to speak to members of one such historical
:05:51. > :06:09.Lodge. -- Kingdom Of Mourne. Meeting in a small hall in the
:06:10. > :06:12.idyllic mountains of Mourne is the Many members are also musicians
:06:13. > :06:18.in the flute band and the lodge boasts over 150
:06:19. > :06:27.members spanning three generations. This is Ballyvea just
:06:28. > :06:33.outside Kilkeel. I have come to meet Jim Martin
:06:34. > :06:37.and some members of his family. This is the biggest lodge
:06:38. > :06:39.with around 150 members. We have a good recruiting officer
:06:40. > :06:48.so that is a lot to do with it. It is a great place to be
:06:49. > :06:53.and it makes me humble and proud. It is great that all
:06:54. > :06:57.my family are members as well. Your father has been
:06:58. > :07:00.in it over 50 years. What is your earliest memory
:07:01. > :07:07.of coming to watch the parades? I used to just go with my mother
:07:08. > :07:11.and watch the band. I have been in the band
:07:12. > :07:14.since I was 11. And is it unique that many members
:07:15. > :07:19.are also members of the band? We look forward to every
:07:20. > :07:36.demonstration as well. Ballyvea 's band is over 50 strong
:07:37. > :07:52.and been going for 137 years. It is good to say that you have
:07:53. > :08:02.the biggest band. It is good for the kids
:08:03. > :08:04.in school to say that. What age where you
:08:05. > :08:09.when you became a member? Jim?s grandson Andrew is
:08:10. > :08:33.the latest family member to join. And is this something you would like
:08:34. > :08:46.to pass on to your children someday? And keep on passing it
:08:47. > :08:51.down to the grandchildren What is it that you believe
:08:52. > :08:59.holds this lodge together? From 1957 we have a prayer meeting
:09:00. > :09:06.three nights in the month. I think that holds
:09:07. > :09:12.families together. And there they are, 343A and their
:09:13. > :09:38.band taking part in the Mourne More from Kilkeel later
:09:39. > :09:52.in the programme. Now over to Markethill and Ralph
:09:53. > :09:57.McLean. We have heard a lot about what it means for the Orange Order,
:09:58. > :10:00.what does it mean for the community? You live up the road, how big an
:10:01. > :10:05.event is this for the area? You live up the road, how big an
:10:06. > :10:11.event is It is a bit -- it is a big event. It is great to bring lots of
:10:12. > :10:13.people in. It is cross community as well. There is something about this
:10:14. > :10:21.area which is resilient. Yes. Our well. There is something about this
:10:22. > :10:24.motto is strength from within. We all gather together and work well.
:10:25. > :10:29.This would not happen without teamwork. What about events
:10:30. > :10:32.This would not happen without throughout the week? We think it is
:10:33. > :10:40.a one-off, but lots has been happening through the week. We had a
:10:41. > :10:51.pipe band had two during the week. We had Ulster Scots dancers. --
:10:52. > :10:58.tattoo. It is brilliant. I have never missed a Twelfth parade. I
:10:59. > :11:10.love the occasion. It is great. Enjoy the rest of the day. The
:11:11. > :11:15.procession continues here in Markethill. We were talking earlier
:11:16. > :11:23.about the community side. My guest knows all about that. What do you
:11:24. > :11:28.guys do? We are a community development support network,
:11:29. > :11:34.established in 2005 to try and open Orange Halls for community
:11:35. > :11:40.activities. There is a wide range of community events happening in Orange
:11:41. > :11:45.Halls across the area. What are we talking about? We have dance
:11:46. > :11:49.classes, computer classes, different events for young people, senior
:11:50. > :11:55.citizens clubs, a wide range of events. You have been involved in
:11:56. > :11:59.this for a few years. Our 10th anniversary is next year. We are
:12:00. > :12:05.hoping to celebrate that with more events. One of the things is
:12:06. > :12:09.happening is we are linking up to deliver a project for young people.
:12:10. > :12:16.You have also engaged in cross border work as well we have a good
:12:17. > :12:22.working relationship with County Monaghan and engaged in a number of
:12:23. > :12:30.cross-border study visits. We went to the Titanic centre in Belfast,
:12:31. > :12:34.the Guinness brewery as well. We are delivering a project looking at the
:12:35. > :12:39.great famine in Ulster. In terms of its been a big community event, you
:12:40. > :12:44.feel that this is growing? Every year, it is getting bigger and
:12:45. > :12:48.better and more and more people are participating. In County Armagh, the
:12:49. > :12:54.numbers engaged in the Orange Order are increasing. There is a sense
:12:55. > :12:58.that families are here, the place is full of families and this is a
:12:59. > :13:03.family friendly event. Last night, there was a family event here with
:13:04. > :13:08.fireworks and games and re-enactments. A big family event.
:13:09. > :13:15.You would encourage people to get involved. It is an important aspect.
:13:16. > :13:20.It is. There is so much happening around the Orange Halls and today at
:13:21. > :13:29.our stand, we have linked in with Cancer Focus. Men are reluctant to
:13:30. > :13:34.attend the doctors and they are being encouraged to get their blood
:13:35. > :13:41.pressure checked stop it is the case of getting the message out there. We
:13:42. > :13:46.have a website people can go to. We have a Facebook page as well. It is
:13:47. > :13:51.an ongoing struggle to try and the message out. There needs to be more
:13:52. > :13:57.funding for this type of work. We wish you all the best. Thank you for
:13:58. > :14:01.joining us. We will go back to Belfast.
:14:02. > :14:03.The Orange Order has a long and interesting history.
:14:04. > :14:05.Recently I travelled to a place just outside Loughall to see
:14:06. > :14:14.When you can see acres of apple trees, you can only be in
:14:15. > :14:18.County Armagh. I am in the Diamond Grange, this is a very special
:14:19. > :14:29.connection with Orangeism. What is the connection between this place
:14:30. > :14:36.and Orangeism? It was here that the Orange Order was founded and we are
:14:37. > :14:40.standing on the hill in North Armagh, really the epicentre of that
:14:41. > :14:43.decisive battle of the Diamond in 1795, where we saw the birth of
:14:44. > :14:50.Orangeism. How did it happen? It happened
:14:51. > :14:54.quickly and was over quickly, the Catholic defenders over there just
:14:55. > :14:58.opposite, the Protestant people were here and the defenders charged up
:14:59. > :15:04.this hill to face the fire and perhaps 30 or 50 defenders soon lay
:15:05. > :15:15.dead. One of the factors was that the defenders were born down by
:15:16. > :15:17.their opponent and it was afterwards down
:15:18. > :15:24.there that Orangeism was founded. By the triumphant day, boys. In the
:15:25. > :15:30.aftermath, what happened? The victors pulled themselves together
:15:31. > :15:38.and carried wounded down this hill and in the smoking ruins of the
:15:39. > :15:40.cottage, which had been burned by defenders, they clashed hands
:15:41. > :15:53.around the table and formed a brotherhood for protection. These
:15:54. > :15:56.men with blackened faces from gunshot smoke, gathering in honour
:15:57. > :15:58.of what they called the great deliverer, William of Orange, who
:15:59. > :16:02.had brought them, what they believe, was civil liberties and from that we
:16:03. > :16:05.got the Orange Society, soon to become
:16:06. > :16:09.the Orange Order to defend the Protestant position in Ireland and
:16:10. > :16:14.led to the Armagh clearance when something like 8000 Catholics were
:16:15. > :16:20.driven from Ireland, County Down and Tyrone and the settling in County
:16:21. > :16:23.Mayo and it all ended in bloodshed in the famous Irish insurrection. We
:16:24. > :16:31.are surrounded by farmland and birdsong and yet, this
:16:32. > :16:34.place was so significant in the history of the country? It is a very
:16:35. > :16:43.quiet, gentle place with enormous history. Hilda, this is Dan Winter's
:16:44. > :16:50.cottage and you have a very direct connection to that character? I'm
:16:51. > :16:56.married Derek Winter, who was the direct descendant. When my husband
:16:57. > :17:01.died, I needed somewhere to go and this was my refuge. You run this
:17:02. > :17:08.on a voluntary basis and you have a great passion for it? I don't look
:17:09. > :17:14.at this as responsibility, I just enjoy doing it and I think that the
:17:15. > :17:24.story, the proper story of the Orange Order, should be known. The
:17:25. > :17:27.proper birthplace and why it was started and what they stand for. Dan
:17:28. > :17:31.Winter's cottage was right at the heart of the formation of Orangeism.
:17:32. > :17:34.It was in this house, the decision was
:17:35. > :17:42.made to form the Orange Order. A lot of memorabilia has
:17:43. > :17:48.been added, people whose grandfather has died and they have presented
:17:49. > :17:52.this. We have a chain of office from a lady who was a Grand Mistress in
:17:53. > :17:58.America, her daughter posted this to me. What does this mean to you over
:17:59. > :18:02.the years? I just love it, meeting the people. You can spend time going
:18:03. > :18:06.out at night and you would not have as much fun as you would have here
:18:07. > :18:15.and meeting people. I did not really set out to do this. 40 years ago, if
:18:16. > :18:18.you said to me I would be doing this, I would say, catch yourself
:18:19. > :18:47.What a wonderful day that was and what a joy to meet Hilda.
:18:48. > :18:54.There was a warm welcome in Irvinestown for the County Fermanagh
:18:55. > :18:59.demonstration. The long held involvement of the lodges joining
:19:00. > :19:01.their counterparts from across the Lakeland County make this parade one
:19:02. > :19:35.of the largest in the province. This is the first time since 2007
:19:36. > :19:40.that Dungannon have hosted Twelfth celebrations. Killie man district,
:19:41. > :19:45.with their new -- newly denigrated by direct added the parade. They
:19:46. > :19:54.work commemorating the World War I centenary, with many people in
:19:55. > :20:01.period dress. With 70 lodges and over 50 bands on parade, it was some
:20:02. > :20:22.spectacle for the 40,000 or so who lined the streets of the town.
:20:23. > :20:29.The entire Orange family of County Londonderry came together for the
:20:30. > :20:34.flagship parade held in Limavady. It is 14 years since the city of
:20:35. > :20:40.Londonderry marched alongside their rural counterparts. Visiting members
:20:41. > :20:45.from the Orange Lodge in Nevada also took part in this parade. And with
:20:46. > :20:47.90 bands of all persuasions, this lively procession proved very
:20:48. > :21:15.popular with the Ruhr Valley crowds. In the harbour town of Kilkeel, the
:21:16. > :21:21.parade is very family orientated, with 14 of the 15 lodges accompanied
:21:22. > :21:26.by their own bands. Upwards of 1500 Orange men and women took part in
:21:27. > :21:27.this seaside procession, with many visitors and holiday-makers swelling
:21:28. > :21:49.the numbers of spectators. The seaport of lawn hosted one of
:21:50. > :21:55.the three flagship parades. This coastal venue saw 70 lodges and up
:21:56. > :22:06.to 50 marching bands pass through the town, with plenty of support
:22:07. > :22:08.along the way. Larne district has a reputation for adding a creative
:22:09. > :22:27.dimension to their parade. July a century ago saw the outbreak
:22:28. > :22:31.of World War I, and for lodges with a direct military collection this is
:22:32. > :22:33.a very significant anniversary. Claire McCollum went to talk to a
:22:34. > :22:51.few members of two such lodges. Commemorating the centenary of the
:22:52. > :22:54.outbreak of the First World War is particularly important for some
:22:55. > :22:59.lodges, like this one, based in Clifton Street. Your Lodge, the 36
:23:00. > :23:05.Ulster division Memorial, was formed in the trenches in the First World
:23:06. > :23:11.War. Tell us about the rich history it has. It was formed in France and
:23:12. > :23:18.this was after the Battle of the Somme. When they came back to
:23:19. > :23:27.Belfast they decided they would form 977. I had a family connection which
:23:28. > :23:32.brought me to the Lodge. My uncle Jackie, who was in the Lodge and
:23:33. > :23:38.also in the Somme, carried the warrant of the Lodge in their
:23:39. > :23:47.knapsacks. My grandfather was in the First World War and my father was at
:23:48. > :23:57.the beachhead and other members of the family gave their lives. Why do
:23:58. > :24:05.you feel it is so important to remember, Billy? To forget, and not
:24:06. > :24:11.to remember, is seen. It is a sin not to. I believe that. The 1st of
:24:12. > :24:19.July, the Ulster division lost most men on the Somme. On the Davis Lodge
:24:20. > :24:25.was formed, we have had a parade to the Cenotaph and we lay a wreath
:24:26. > :24:29.down there are so hopefully my grandsons, one of them will be
:24:30. > :24:34.carrying the Rees. These are very special colours. Tell us about them.
:24:35. > :24:39.These were in the royal house of needlework in London. The battle
:24:40. > :24:42.honours are around it and I think it is the best. You are very proud of
:24:43. > :24:55.it? Yes, I am. The story and -- historian Gavin
:24:56. > :25:05.Hughes is an authority on the First World War. It is a very emotional
:25:06. > :25:09.and poignant event, it reflects the gentleman behind us are doing what
:25:10. > :25:15.the previous generations did. This is all about the losses and the
:25:16. > :25:20.black ribbons on the colours demonstrate. Yet the men who started
:25:21. > :25:25.this particular Lodge started it in the trenches of the First World War.
:25:26. > :25:32.That is amazing. It is. They started while they were training to go off
:25:33. > :25:36.to the front and then the trenches they continued this bond of
:25:37. > :25:41.friendship. So when they came home in 1918 and 1919, it is natural they
:25:42. > :25:47.have shared experiences. They joined and formed lodges to show solidarity
:25:48. > :25:52.with those who did not come back. Another Lodge with a direct military
:25:53. > :25:59.connection to the First World War comes from County Tyrone. Number one
:26:00. > :26:06.was formed over 150 years ago and sits in Killie man hall just outside
:26:07. > :26:10.Dungannon. We have decided to commission a small booklet leading
:26:11. > :26:16.up to the war effort in 1914, compiled and written by Robert
:26:17. > :26:23.Butler, who is a brother within 83. The book covers Viscount Northland,
:26:24. > :26:30.who was the commanding officer of the Ulster Volunteer Force in 1914.
:26:31. > :26:35.We have an old banner, which have depicted the Battle of the Somme on
:26:36. > :26:39.the front and Viscount Northland's portrait on the reverse side. The
:26:40. > :26:45.district asked me to decide a Ballarat, which would be at the head
:26:46. > :26:51.of the parade in Dungannon this year. We felt it was a fitting
:26:52. > :26:57.tribute to all those who died Orangemen who were in local lodges
:26:58. > :27:05.here in the district. As you can see, I am dressed in uniform of the
:27:06. > :27:10.Enniskillen Fusiliers. The Memorial Association, our badges dedicated to
:27:11. > :27:17.the ninth battalion, known as the Tyrones. It is trying to educate our
:27:18. > :27:23.young people about the relationship between both communities, who fought
:27:24. > :27:28.and died during the First World War. You have got to remember these are
:27:29. > :27:32.Irish and Ulstermen joining the ranks and Union flag, before
:27:33. > :27:37.partition, and when they come back from the war they want their service
:27:38. > :27:57.recognised and they want to try to make meaning of it in some way.
:27:58. > :28:05.Markethill is a beautiful part the world and this is an historic
:28:06. > :28:12.part of the world. It is. It is in an ancient parish and the town as we
:28:13. > :28:18.know it was developed when the Earl of Gosford was created by King
:28:19. > :28:24.James. It was the 17th century, this marvellous town grew and developed
:28:25. > :28:27.into this lovely spot we are in today. The name Gosford

:28:38. > :28:40.petition by the newly formed Orange they could parade and he said, you
:28:41. > :28:47.can, as long as you are sober and in they could parade and he said, you
:28:48. > :28:50.an orderly fashion. And they did. What has been the highlights? They
:28:51. > :28:56.have had a mix of styles here What has been the highlights? They
:28:57. > :29:01.haven't they? We have had pipe and drum bands, and the Johnson Memorial
:29:02. > :29:05.with the Lambeg drum, a lovely drum with the Royal Enniskillen Fusiliers
:29:06. > :29:10.on it. A different experience from Belfast. How would you sum up the
:29:11. > :29:16.difference in a country event like this? It is a family orientated
:29:17. > :29:21.event here. We have pipe band is of course just passing us. This is
:29:22. > :29:25.finishing of the parade here at Markethill. We have the Lambegs

:29:37. > :29:43.Thank you for being with us today. Thank you. From us in Markethill, I
:29:44. > :29:48.had you back to Belfast. We are going to show you some rare
