The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has offered its congratulations and best wishes to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth on the occasion of her 90th birthday.

Senior Orangemen met today (MON) with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers MP.

On behalf of the Ligoniel Lodges and their bands let me welcome you all to our 1,000th night of protest here at Twaddell. Let me begin by thanking those who started this protest 1,000 days ago, those who have maintained the protest and those who have supported the protest for 1,000 days.

The Orange Institution has condemned the latest attack on a memorial to victims of an IRA bomb in Co Tyrone.

Noel Liggett, District Master of Ballynafeigh District L.O.L No 10 and the County Secretary for Belfast Junior County Lodge said that today’s incident was down to poor policing on the ground and the lack of communication with him as the Parade Organiser.

Visitors to the Museum of Orange Heritage are ensured plenty of family fun this Easter.
