Thousands of people are getting ready for the 12th of July celebrations across the North. Around 600 marching bands are expected to take part in parades throughout the six counties.
18 venues across Northern Ireland will host parades to mark the 334th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne on Friday. The Co Armagh demonstration which will be held in the village of Killylea this year is firmly established as the largest Orange gathering in the world. Over 40,000 are expected to take part in that parade alone.
