A spokesman for the Orange Order said: “It was with great disappointment and frustration that we learned of the theft of the Northern Ireland CentenNIal flag from Cloughfin Orange Hall in recent days.
On 1st September, the Orange family remembered 339 members of the Institution who were murdered by terrorists – over 70 of whom were serving police officers.
The leader of the Royal Black Institution has hailed today’s “Last Saturday” parades as “an overwhelming success that bodes well for the future of the Institution”.
Lovely morning in Ballycastle, when a man around his 50’s or so walks into the band yells abuse at the young female members in the colour party and strikes one of our standard bearers.
We have taken the decision to postpone our planned recruitment parade in Rectory & Brownstown tomorrow evening as a mark of respect to the young man who tragically lost his life in the Rectory area on Saturday morning.
