Our District is one of the most geographically widespread within Co Armagh; and stretches from just outside Armagh City into Co Tyrone. The District has the proud distinction of having the Diamond area within its boundaries, the

scene of the famous Battle of the Diamond on 21 September 1795; and of course the β€œMuseum of Orange Heritage” at Sloan’s House, where the first Orange Warrants were signed after the battle.

Statement on behalf of Loughgall District LOL No. 3

Loughgall District LOL No. 3 condemns the vile, sectarian and abusive comments directed at Carla Lockhart MP on social media. No elected representative should be subjected to such intimidation for carrying out their duties.

We commend Carla Lockhart and other elected representatives who stood with the people of Scarva in opposing a parade which many local residents viewed as provocative and supportive of terrorism. Their actions helped ensure that tensions were reduced and peace was maintained.

We also have concerns regarding aspects of the policing operation on the day, and believe a review should be undertaken to examine decisions made during the event.

Loughgall District LOL No. 3 thanks Carla Lockhart MP for her continued leadership and public service. We assure her and her family of our prayers, support and best wishes as she continues to represent her constituents.

Well done to Derrycorry Purple Guards LOL 52

The County Armagh Twelfth Demonstration is now firmly established as the largest Orange gathering in the world on the day and encompasses the full range of the Orange family. 11 District Lodges will be on parade, with a total of 150 Private Lodges and over 5,000 Brethren; in addition, Lodges from the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland will take part, along with a number of Junior Boys and Junior Girls Lodges. The Co Armagh Demonstration can attract upwards of 20,000 spectators.

Around 70 bands will accompany the Lodges and some of the finest Pipe, Accordion, Silver and Flute Bands in the country will be on parade. This year, there will be a new band on parade with Moyrourkan True Blues LOL 305a, leading their Junior Lodge.
There are always approximately 4 Scottish bands on parade at the Co Armagh demonstration and as the β€œCounty of the Diamond” is well-known for the Lambeg Drum, dozens will be accompanying the Lodges, especially if the weather is favourable.
