Twelfth: parades taking part across Northern Ireland

The Twelfth parades are well under way across Northern Ireland.

This year the focus is on a number of smaller parades.

In Belfast bands gathered at Carlisle Circus in north Belfast - the traditional starting point - before walking through the city centre onto Shaw's Bridge.

Meanwhile, a number of other parades were taking part in various locations throughout the city.

These included Ormeau Road and Sandy Row.

Elsewhere, there were parades in every county.

In County Tyrone, the main parades were in Dungannon (see below).

In County Down, DUP leader, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson (pictured) joins members of Orangefield Flute Band along with members of Ballinran Orange Lodge in Kilkeel, close to the Mourne Mountains.
