Twelfth of July parades cancelled across Northern Ireland due to coronavirus

Parades were scheduled to take place at 17 venues across Northern Ireland and also in Rossnowlagh, County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.Parades were not held for a time during the First and Second World Wars or during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.At these times, alternative ways to mark the occasion were found, such as flying flags and displays of Orange Lilies.

Mr Stevenson added that the organisation"must prioritise the safety of not only our members, but of the entire community" and that the"Orange family has already lost members to this terrible virus whilst others are in hospital".

WhiteThomson finally, a silver lining

Bad news but the right move for our country, let’s make sure 2021 the biggest Orangefest ever!🇬🇧

Surely it hasn't jumped the species boundary already.

Orange order parade in protestant areas only surely not a problem

Some good news for a change

What about the Flegs & Pallets?

FTOO.

You can still hate each other from home!

One less virus to think about

They mutant bastards probably scare it away

CoronaVirus has killed the OrangeDinosaurs Ireland

Good. Neanderthals!

Sorry Dazza_Linfield

RT: The Covid-19 coronavirus has infected 1.2 mn ple worldwide&killed 66,000. In an effort to slow the spread of the disease govts have granted themselves unprecedented emergency powers restricted travel & confined citizens to their homes under the pain of fines or imprisonment'

Get them banned in Scotland now too 🙌🏻🤞🏻

Thank goodness !

At last some good news.

Many of them belong behind bars to be perfectly honest.

Lol

Hope they never come back

Good

One virus cures another

Happy days ahahah

Well I am impressed at the level of common sense that has been shown. Thank you

adam_hop7 😂

thank fuck finally getting rid of these bastards

I'm a protestant in Northern Ireland and I totally agree with this decision. WELL DONE PASTOR MERVIN and ED. A BRILLIANT MOVE. Of course there will be thousands who will lose the plot, but thank God common sense has prevailed.

Great News, hopefully this is the end of them!

Took one virus to stop another. Good decision

Great news 👍

What about the other 11?

Oh no. What a terrible shame. Looks like the orange order won't get to march down the road in their wee bowler hats, orange collars and white gloves, celebrating an incestuous family squabble between a Dutch man and his English father-in-law AND uncle, who were the same person.

What about Saltcoats ?

Should be cancelled permanently

Finally some good news

Wee shame. It's such a fun filled family day out.

On one hand I say fantastic! Ban them forever! On the other hand Ieave them to it, what’s the worst that can happen? 👀

Got to in the circumstances. Notting Hill Carnival needs to be cancelled to for the same reasons.

Pk53111353 im sure you’re heartbroken

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Never heard of them

dy0b1 Thank fuck.

Their world is falling apart 😂

No, really!

But you can buy a treadmill put your sash on and ... Alexa play the sash 🤠

Every cloud...

problem solved

Has the 12th ever been cancelled before? This is crazy.

yeraulhat downed enuf.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Every cloud ⛅️

One virus stops another

January, February, March, March, March

Ste gerrard is gutted

A permanent cancellation of marches like these would be most welcome, when life returns to ‘normal’

Good

Thank goodness for that...They’re an eyesore and an earsore! I never understood why people who live in certain areas have to be subjected every year to such a deafening noise whereas they could arrange this utter crap in a building where only those that WANT to hear it can go.

Trying to recreate the bliss of 5g-less Belfast in the 70’s?

Best news over the past few weeks

Made in China, murder the World PS: 接话茬,死全家

We’ll have to celebrate over Zoom then

It's a step forward. We all know what Mr Orange did at the Battle of the Boyne. Time to unite the province; take down the barriers.

So it’s not all bad news

How sad, never mind.

DealyPlazaEcho Hooray yippee fantastic

Happy days! It really gets on my tits listening to the shite they play! ✊

These marches should be cancelled permanently. It is about time that they stopped celebrating the Battle of the Boyne that occurred in 1690

Oh come on don’t you know it’s 1690
