Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC6H65 - The Annual Traditional Orange Lodge Parades are returning to Liverpool and Southport this week to commemorate the 333rd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne which took place in 1690. This year, nearly 70 lodges will be taking part on Wednesday, July 12.
They will be joined by some Orange bands - accordion and concertina bands, and some juniors. Many of the children will be dressed as King William and Queen Mary while the Provincial King, Queen and Bible Carrier are made up of young children from No 5 Enniskillen District who have been preparing for the event for over 12 months.
For the first time in many years, the parade will be led by a traditional pipe band with members from the Everton and District Pipe Band in full highland dress. Minibuses will be driving within the ranks of the parade to allow elderly members, some of whom have over 60 years of service to the institution in Liverpool, or members unable to walk to a full and active part in the proceedings.
This year's parade is the first in 71 years to take place with a king as the monarch. Special badges have been commissioned to celebrate the King's Coronation which took place in May.
Orange parades will take place in Liverpool, Dingle and Southport. The main parades will move off from Netherfield Road and Corn Street in the Dingle around 9am on Wednesday morning.
The parades will make their way to the city centre and meet around the vicinity of Lime Street to board buses to Southport before forming up on London Street, Southport at approximately 11.15am. As per previous years, upon arriving in Southport, Liverpool parade members will be joined by others from all over England including Bootle, Manchester, Sunderland, London, Corby, Birmingham, Sussex and many more locations.
Senior officers from Scotland and Northern Ireland will also join the parade to celebrate the day which will see approximately 3,000 to 4,000 people on the streets of Southport. There is always a carnival atmosphere at the event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAF - A historic iron cannon mounted on the city walls of Derry / Londonderry, positioned between stone ramparts and overlooking the Bogside area of the city below. The cannon forms part of the extensive seventeenth-century defensive fortifications that encircle the historic city centre, which remain among the best-preserved walled cities in Europe.
The city walls were completed in the early 1600s and are closely associated with key events in Irish and British history, most notably the Siege of Derry (1689) during the Williamite Wars. Cannons such as this were installed as part of the city's defensive system, intended to protect the settlement and assert control over the surrounding landscape.
Today, the walls are a major heritage and tourism feature, offering panoramic views across different parts of the city, including areas that later became symbolically significant during The Troubles. The image captures the cannon in daylight under overcast conditions, with modern housing visible in the distance, illustrating the layered and complex history of Derry / Londonderry, where historic military architecture coexists with contemporary urban life.
The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses relating to Northern Irish history, urban heritage, conflict studies, peace and reconciliation contexts, and cultural tourism.
Location: Derry / Londonderry City Walls, Derry / Londonderry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, BT48.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBK - The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA, Irish: Arm Saoirse Náisiúnta na hÉireann) is an Irish republican socialist paramilitary group formed on 10 December 1974, during the 30-year period of conflict known as the Troubles. The group seeks to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and create a socialist republic encompassing all of Ireland. With membership estimated at 80“100 at their peak, it is the paramilitary wing of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP).
The INLA was founded by former members of the Official Irish Republican Army who opposed that group's ceasefire. It was initially known as the People's Liberation Army or People's Republican Army. The INLA waged a paramilitary campaign against the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in Northern Ireland. It was also active to a lesser extent in the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and mainland Europe. High-profile attacks carried out by the INLA include the Droppin Well bombing, the 1994 Shankill Road killings and the assassinations of Airey Neave in 1979 and Billy Wright in 1997. However, it was smaller and less active than the main republican paramilitary group, the Provisional IRA. It was also weakened by feuds and internal tensions. Members of the group used the covernames People's Liberation Army, People's Republican Army, and Catholic Reaction Force[8] for attacks its volunteers carried out but the INLA did not want to claim responsibility for. The INLA became a proscribed group in the United Kingdom on 3 July 1979 under the 1974 Prevention of Terrorism Act.
After a 24-year armed campaign, the INLA declared a ceasefire on 22 August 1998. In August 1999, it stated that There is no political or moral argument to justify a resumption of the campaign. In October 2009, the INLA formally vowed to pursue its aims through peaceful political means and began decommissioning its weapons.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AYHJ4Y - Ada Salter (née Brown
1866“1942) was an English social reformer, environmentalist, pacifist and Quaker, President of the Women's Labour League and President of the National Gardens Guild. She was one of the first women councillors in London, the first woman mayor in London and the first Labour woman mayor in the British Isles.
Born on 20 July 1866 in Raunds, Northamptonshire, Ada Brown was active in the Methodist church and on the radical wing of the Liberal Party before she joined the West London Mission in Bloomsbury to work as a Sister of the People in the slums of St Pancras. The Sisters were run by Katherine Hughes, an inspirational Christian socialist, but in 1897 Ada transferred to the Bermondsey Settlement. There she met Alfred Salter, agnostic and socialist, a resident engaged in medical research into infectious diseases on a farm in Sudbury (now Wembley), Middlesex. Under her influence Alfred converted to Christianity and joined the Liberal Party. They both committed to the Society of Friends (Quakers) and started to attend the Deptford Meeting. They were married in Raunds on 22 August 1900.
Ada was President of the Women's Liberal Party in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe but in 1906 she left the Liberal Party when it failed to honour its promise of granting the vote to women and soon joined the ILP (Independent Labour Party). The ILP was the political party most favourable to the rights of women and wanted to stand women candidates, including Ada, at the next council elections.
Re-elected to Bermondsey Council in 1919, Ada was appointed Mayor of Bermondsey in 1922, making her the first woman mayor in London and first Labour woman mayor in Britain. She had launched in 1920 her famous Beautification Committee and now she launched her housing campaign, demolishing the slums that could be demolished and beautifying the slums that could not. By the 1930s she had planted 7000 trees, decorated buildings with window-boxes,and filled all open spaces with flowers

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEG4B - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common
