A band parade is to be held in Armagh next Saturday to mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of Northern Ireland.
The event, which is due to get underway at 7.45pm, is being organised by Drumderg Loyalist Flute Band, Keady.
Promoted as the Armagh City Centenary Parade – on Saturday, May 29 – a total of three bands will take part.

The procession will travel along Mall East, Victoria Street, Drumadd Terrace, Barrack Hill, Gough Avenue, Barrack Street, Scotch Street, Market Street, English Street, College Street and returned to Mall East.
The bands will stop at the Cenotaph to lay wreaths in memory of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice over the 100 years.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: “This parade is a notified procession with all bands, over recent weeks, forming their social bubbles. A risk assessment has been completed and in place for the parade.
“However, all spectators are asked to obey all Government guidelines and restrictions, particularly with social distancing.
