Tends of thousands of visitors flocked to the Co Down village from far and wide to watch 4,000 members of the Royal Black Institution and around 70 bands taking part in a huge procession.
The annual sham fight – organised by Sir Knight Alfred Buller Memorial RBP 1000 – gave the day at Scarva its usual unique atmosphere.
John Adair and Colin Cairns took on their customary roles of monarchs William and James, accompanied by performers in period costume portraying troops of the Williamite and Jacobite armies.
