@@stephenowens354 Says the sectarian hater spewing his sectarian bile. The irony of your own hypocrisy is obviously lost on you. (By the way, it's bile, NOT vile 😂 you clown). Go educate yourself on the English language before attempting any more of your sectarian hate filled comments.
I was a bit surprised that most of the lodges had very few members following on from the King’s Billy and Queen’s Mary, when I used to see the lodges parading in Liverpool and making their way up to Moorfields to take the train from the then Liverpool Exchange station and to Southport.There were around a hundred members both gentlemen and ladies alike all following the Kings and Queens , in those days Queen Mary always rode on a white horse with the King Williams each leading each horse,we always wondered what ever they did with all the white horses as they certainly could not be taken on the special trains to Southport. In those now far off days in the 1960’s I can remember that the lodges from the south of Liverpool always used to join up and walk along the dock road to Water Street where they would meet up with the LOL from Birkenhead which had come over the river by ferry the all would then March up Water Street and onto Dale Street where they would meet up with the lodges which had walked along Dale Street from the other end and they would all March two abreast up Moorfields to Exchange Station .The Bootle Lodges would March to Oriel Station to get on a or a couple of trains ,likewise the Seaforth andLitherland lodges would each March to Seaforth Station where they too would get on special trains . Very often when the lodges were all returning home after a good day out in Southport in the evening ,the trains would be held at signals opposite my house and we could hear the bands playing their hearts out and we all could hear the music until the signals were set that the line as clear ahead. That was another thing from yesterday ,very few of the bands were playing any music other than drums,I-took it that the lodge which had bag pipes were visiting from Glasgow .iIt was a pity that the one guy was seen holding a beer bottle so early in the morning ,I-bet that there were some thick heads on Wednesday,with all the alcohol which everybody consumes on the Glorious 12th
In Northern Ireland I have never once seen King Billy and Queen Mary. Only ever a King Billy on his white horse and that is usually only at the start of the Parade.
This is called throwing punches after the bell has been sounded. The good Friday agreement should have signalled the end of the this. While loyalist have signed that peace agreement, they're throwing punches here.
