The demonstration is the largest Orange gathering in the world on the day with 11 district lodges on parade – a total of 150 private lodges and almost 5,000 brethren. In addition, ladies from the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland took part, along with a number of junior boys and junior girls lodges.
Almost 70 bands accompanied the parade, some from Scotland, along with Lambeg drums.
Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture some of the colour and spectacle of the day.
