There was a big turnout for Portadown Royal Black District Chapter No 5’s annual parade around the town on Monday morning ahead of the annual celebrations in Scarva.

The parade stopped at the war memorial for a wreath-laying ceremony before participants headed for the demonstration and Sham Fight.
