The Twelfth | Belfast hosts annual parade to mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne 

Only the Boyne anniversary would now be 14th.

the people of N.I. are not British, they are Irish. N.I. is part of the UK not Great Britain.

@@marcokite They are Irish, or British, or Northern Irish, or any combination of the three.

@@marcokiteIrish and British, Scots and British, Welsh and British, English and British. That’s the nationality of the UK- British. Too much for you to get your wee head around?

@@marcokite We are Northern Irish Ulstemen British by citizenship and by culture people have the right to identify as they wish you wouldn't be against people's rights, would you?

Just in time for the Aughrim anniversary on 25th.

My husband is from Belfast and I love place (we don't live over there, but like you, I've visited on many an occasion!)

​@rhyfelwrDuw use should be coming home for the 12th every year lol

Their pretty little hats, majorette batons, pageant sashes and blowing their flutes. It makes pride month look butch. They then claim to be anti gay. Their lack of self awareness is staggering

There's a difference between patriotism and sectarian hatred. Their patriotism isn't native to Ireland, so you can take them back if you wish.

@@barra6709 The Catholic Irish were loyal to a foreign Pope. Their actual ruler was British.

Orange is near Marseille.

The colour Orange has nothing to do with the Prince of Orange. Orange is a city in southern France.

@@stephfoxwell4620 Why does the Dutch national team play in orange Mr Sinn fein troll?

The Prince of Orange died in 1702. The Orange Order was founded in 1796. The Dutch soccer team was founded in 1905. They adopted tangerine clothes in 1928.

@@PaddyDoesasia-bj3bb well done the Dutch then 😂

@@PaddyDoesasia-bj3bb It was a multinational army coming together to defeat the tyranny of Catholicism. Brought religious freedom, paved the way for modern democracy, the bill of rights and the beginning of the United Kingdom. It changed the shape of Europe. You are on the wrong side Sinn Fein troll.

@gary637 Seriously, stop embarrassing yourself . This is a celebration of a Dutch king defeating the English king and the British where one the biggest oppressors of religious freedom not only in Britain but around the world. There was no religious freedom, rights, or democracy in Britain , real democracy wasn't introduced until the 20th century in the uk. Have any of you lot ever considered opening a real history book?

​@@gary637sorry, Gary. Penal laws, land confiscation of the natives. 250 of religious persecution. You're celebrating the tyranny.

@@SamG-py7ej feeble spud slingers bro. WATP🇬🇧

The Dutch King, William did kill many Highlanders between 1689 and 1693. But died 1702. 44 years before the Clearances.

St George was from Anatolia in Turkey.

It's not celebrating William of Orange. It's celebrating one of the many defeats the forces led by King William inflicted on James II's forces.

NO It's called History.

go tell it to republicans

@@VioletR3062 Agreed, plenty of Prods live in the Republic.

@@VioletR3062 To have their noses rubbed in the fact they where defeated in this one battle ? Most civilised countries only mourn the death of people lost in battle but only in NI do people celebrates battle victories

That's the second comment you've made about the same event Martin. The Orange Order didn't kill anyone. The Provos killed 1696 people.

Yes please!!! we need a United Ireland now! well England certainly does

Couldn't we sell it back to Dublin? Maybe £40 billion. Wipe some of the Tory debts

Everyone knows, if the UK government could hand back the 6 counties, they would in heartbeat.

​@@nedfitzgerald584I think they would. Thing is some people in Ireland 🇮🇪 keep calling for a unification, but do they really think all this will just end cause they're unified? Isn't it likely to cause massive issues. The British in Northern Ireland who were born there making them Irish are not just going to stop being British cause Ireland unifies. Also I read Sinn Fein won by 54% but half of Northern Ireland didn't even vote in the last election 😂. It's not a resounding confident number for the pressing of a united Ireland 🇮🇪. Would like to have seen the numbers if everyone in NI voted. I think this may go on for a while yet.

Security!

Tá an ceart agat. Agus is maith an rud é.

Aye that's right 🤷🏻

Half the English don't know the difference between the Republic of Ireland and the North of Ireland, yet nobody flies the union flag more than the fake brits.

@msmissy6888 when people from the North of Ireland go to real Britain, they're still called Paddy.

Orange pride. Too camp for pride month, so they have it afterwards

At least with this parade, unlike the one in June, you don't have gr00mers flashing their bits at children. But you're OK with that.

@@charlesstilesmysterydinersfn name the groomers. Give names.

@@Backpfeifengesicht45 Pride.

@@charlesstilesmysterydinersfn didn't think so. Hard luck. Must try harder.

Were you there?

Yes

Unfortunately there were a lot of atrocities during the troubles Martin. Just remember that by far the highest murder count belonged to the IRA. They killed 1696 people. That's twice as many as loyalist paramilitaries, and five times more than the security forces. In fact the Provos murdered more Catholics than the army and RUC combined, and in Derry city they killed more than the security forces and loyalists.

@@martinecoyle8223 👍🏻

Yes of course, I have a catholic sister in law who goes, and enjoys the bands. Some people on here are determined to paint a picture of hate between Protestant and Catholic. That is not the case and, it does not apply to the vast majority of those attending the parades.

​@@marcokite...ah smile....ah go on...go on...go on...🤣

Patriots!

You are spot on Paddy. I am heartily sick of the fake history about the "Glorious Revolution". A Dutch Invasion and Coup. If Willem was invited why did he come with 40,000 troops in 550 ships and land in Devon? Surely if invited he'd sail up the Thames unmolested. When Crowned London was surrounded by 34,000 Dutch, Danish and Hugeunot troops.

​@@stephfoxwell4620The battle of the Boyne wasn't the overwhelming victory Orangeism elevated it to with a fictional history. The Battle Aughrim was the decisive and one of the most bloody battles in British and Irish history.

I know. A Dutch victory over the British and Irish.

Bet you were waving your little Pride flag last month. No bigotry with that crew.......

The best parade, much better than July 12th.

Our rightful King is a Catholic. Prince Francis of Wittelsbach. There are 50 European Catholics with a better claim to our throne than Charles the Woke

@@stephfoxwell4620 Descended from the Jacobites. Though a bit ironic he is German and the Windsors are descended from Germans...

The Jacobites supported the legitimate line of royalty. Francis is a direct descendant of King Charles I. Whereas the usurper William was merely married to one of his granddaughters. And the Hanoverians and the current lot are descendants of Charles I's sister Elizabeth of Bohemia.

The calendar changed by 11 days. A two second google search would have saved you the embarrassment dear troll.

There's always one.

The House of Orange- Nassau dates back to 1544. It still exists as the House of Orange, thus the colours of the Netherlands today. Nor was William of Orange a usuper of the throne. He was asked by Parliament to become England's king as they feared a future Catholic monarch.

@WRP63 WRP. The adoption of the colour Orange happened in the 1850s. Orange is a city in Southern France. He was not I voted by Parliament. He was invited by two Bishops and six Lords. Out of 190 .

@@stephfoxwell4620 which in turn led to the Glorious Revolution. Which severely limited the Monarch's powers. This was a good thing, no?

Enda. Nuff said.

There isn't any. Even real Britain doesn't give a shit. It's the celebration of a Dutch man beating a Brit in battle. The fake Brits in the North of Ireland celebrate it. No wonder the world laughs at them.

So, you’re celebrating the victory of a foreign king over an English one, who you then gave the throne to ???? Celebrating a battle that was actually fought on July 1st….which is now July 11th (new calendar ) the decisive battle of the Williamite / Jacobite wars was the battle of Aughrim, (the battle of the Boyne was only a skirmish in comparison) fought on July 12th, now July 22nd. You really are a confused little lot !!!

Your some boy to be calling anyone confused you numpty when you don't even know the name of your flag, must be sad for you that a Catholic has to educate you on your own kkkulture, it's called the Union flag🤦 it is only called a Union Jack when it flies from a boat...

I had to go up to the North of Ireland with work last year. The most stupid thing I'll ever see. Nothing will surpass its asininity.
