Family is an important theme of the Twelfth for many people, none more so than Paul Elliott and his family from Keady, who will all be on parade this year.
The Orange Order will be putting on Twelfth of July parades in cities and towns across Northern Ireland this coming Wednesday to mark King William's victory over King James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
He told Belfast Live: "I've been a member of Drumderg for 38 years and my wife Liza joined the band before we were married and remained in it until our children arrived. She was the first member of the first female colour party of Drumderg band, which was formed in 1923. "My father and I were originally involved with the Keady Pipe Band but my passion was always flute bands so after he died I joined up as a lot of my friends were already in it."

"We will parade Keady in the morning before travelling to the main county demonstration and again in the evening on our return. We'll then head back to the Orange Hall for a barbeque where friendships will be renewed and we make our crack with each other.
