Previous marches in Rossnowlagh have attracted thousands of people
|
Orangemen from throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have taken part in their annual parade in Rossnowlagh, County Donegal.
The event drew several thousand lodge members from across NI and border counties Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan.
About 30 bands accompanied the marchers on the route into the seaside resort, ahead of a religious service.
The march comes before the annual 12 July celebrations in Northern Ireland, marking the 1690 Battle of the Boyne.
The Orange Order in Donegal says it is going from strength-to-strength with new members joining each year.
A number of Orange halls in the county are currently being refurbished, while the Irish government recently helped fund a development officer to work on modernising Orange Order property.
