The Twelfth 2022: Colour and spectacle of the Armagh demonstration in pictures

Crowds gathered in Armagh for the county Twelfth demonstration, the largest Orange gathering in the world.

Eleven District lodges were on parade, with 150 private lodges and almost 5,000 brethren taking part. They were joined by ladies from the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland and a number of Junior boys and Junior girls lodges.

Around 65 bands accompanied the lodges along with Lambeg drummers.

Armagh District LOL No. 5 had the honours of hosting this year’s parade, having missed out in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.

Photographer Tony Hendron was in Armagh to capture some of the atmosphere of the day.
