Orange lodges from across Northern Ireland are expected to converge on the Co Donegal village of Rossnowlagh this weekend for the early Twelfth.

“The parade then makes its way down a narrow country road, thronged with onlookers, to the demonstration field, on the edge of the shoreline.“A religious service, only yards from the rolling breakers of the Atlantic, will be held at 3pm. The service will be conducted by Rev Brian Russell, Rector of Drumholm Parish.
