Former First Minister Arlene Foster joined Sir Jeffrey Donaldson at the Northern Ireland (NI) Centenary celebrations in Belfast today (Saturday, May 28) as branches of the Orange Order and bands paraded from Stormont to the city centre.
The NI Centenary parade was attended by more than 25,000 members of the Orange Order, along with 131 bands and large crowds of onlookers.
Previously planned to mark the NI Centenary in 2021, the celebrations had to be postponed last year due to the pandemic.
Controversially, Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance Party voted down a request by Unionists to have the union flag flying over the Parliament Building.
