- THE English Orangeman, or Orange Order is an Irish Protestant and political society, named for the Protestant William of Orange, who, as King William III of Great Britain, had defeated the Roman Catholic king James II, in n 1690. The parades partly commemorates the:- 'Battle of the Botne,' which was a tipping point in Irish history that led to the protestants taking over from the Catholics in what was to later become Northern Ireland..
Every year since, on the 12 July, or as the Order refers to it as:- 'The Twelfth' the Lodges hold parades within Ireland and it has become the largest event celebrated by the Orange Order.
With Liverpool having an very large Irish population, it should come as no surprise that the Order has kept this tradition. Since 1819 members of the Liverpool Order have paraded through Liverpool City Centre, and have traveled to Southport, where they will be joined by other branches from cities across the UK, including:- Manchester, Sussex Birmingham, Corby, and Glasgow.
The parades in Southport have been organized by the Lodges from Liverpool and surrounding areas, and they attract thousands of visitors to the area, to watch it.
Every year members of the Order from Liverpool and other parts of the UK come to Southport for a parade, events are often viewed by many in a Marmite way (a love or hate view) The 2024 event was a fairly low-key affair, but it did cause traffic disruption, especially this year the Coastal Road had been partly closed off for the Air show set up.
This is our footage of the return parade, at the end of the day, which ran from:- Princes Park, along the Promenade, up Nevill Street, across Lord Street at the War Memorial, and then along London Street, to the Rail Station and the awaiting coaches.

Nice to see 12th parades in different parts of country.
And not a goat or a turban in sight.
A thing of the passed
Past or pissed
It's past by the way not passed, and no it's not.
@@davidravenscroft9235 a thing of the "passed" but it's happening in the present.
No wonder they call you stupid 😂
That's why no one goes anymore, Islam is the future.
@@davidravenscroft9235 You can be taken serious when your can't spell.
At least you Brits are back in your own country....
Did something happen here or what?
This was a poor videe got 1 band playing in the full video
Looks like video was filmed at War Memorial and the bands stopped playing as a mark of respect.
@@davymcg3718 yes definitely could have moved down more to get I then
Absolutely rubbish the parade isn't a patch on the glasgow 12 th
Is it a competition?
They're all shite.
It did used to be larger than it is now but there are only so many districts in Liverpool with bands.. Glasgow has more bands to walk and other lodges from England, Wales and Ireland are invited to Glasgow each year that's why Glasgow is so much bigger
@@AnnesleyPlaceDub70 stop watching them you whopper
@@capt9 it's the comedy factor they bring - 200 Pat Mustards walking in tandem 🤣🤣🤣
