Members of the Orange Order in Northern Ireland joined upwards of 50 lodges from Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan, as well as visitors from much further afield, for the day.
The annual Rossnowlagh procession – which many people consider to be the most scenic of any Twelfth parade – traditionally takes place on the last Saturday before July 12.
The parade began close to St John’s Parish Church and made its way along country roads lined with spectators, to the demonstration field on the edge of the Atlantic shoreline.
