69 great photos as Portadown Royal Black Institution members and bands parade through the town on July 14

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.

Photographer MP Doran took these pictures of many of those who turned out for the Portadown parade.
