The magnificent coastline of Donegal provided the most scenic of backdrops for the first of this year’s Twelfth demonstrations.

Members of the Orange Order from across Northern Ireland joined upwards of 50 lodges from Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan for the annual Twelfth parade in Rossnowlagh.

The parade began close to St. John’s Parish Church and followed a route along a narrow country road to the demonstration field on the edge of the shoreline.
