Today, on Orange Victims Day, we remember with solemn respect the 343 Brethren and 1 Sister who were murdered during the Troubles.

Behind every name was a family, a lodge, a community and a life taken far too soon.

The Junior Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland honours their memory and stands in remembrance with all those who continue to carry the pain of their loss.

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Great to have the Junior Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland Wor Bro Joe Magill at the County Armagh Grand Orange Lodge 12th July Demonstration in Newtownhamilton District L O L No 9 🇬🇧

Thank-you for all your hard work and support 👏🏻

The Twelfth 2026 is one I’ll look back on with fondness.

My sincere thanks go to the officers and brethren of County Donegal Grand Orange Lodge for their invitation to parade at Rossnowlagh, and to County Armagh Grand Orange Lodge for the warm welcome I received in Newtownhamilton.

It was a privilege to represent the Junior Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland at both demonstrations. My highlight was seeing the strength of the Junior movement. Seeing so many boys from the Junior Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland and girls from the Junior Orange Women's Association of Ireland taking part in both parades showed just how much both Junior Institutions have grown over the past few years.

I’d also like to thank both County Masters for their friendship, encouragement and the support they continue to show the Junior Institution.

It was a pleasure to meet the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Matthew Patrick MP, in Newtownhamilton. I was grateful for the interest he took in the work of the Junior Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland and in the growth we’ve seen over recent years.

Twelfth 2026… complete. 🧡

Don’t forget that entries are still being accepted for our 2026 Twelfth Photography Competition. If you’re a member of either Junior Institution, make sure you get your entry in.

12th July 2026 – What a Day! 🧡☀️

What a fantastic day Richhill JLOL No. 285 had at this year’s Twelfth celebrations.

We are incredibly proud of our young men, who represented our lodge with pride, respect, and outstanding behaviour throughout the day. Despite the extremely warm weather and challenging conditions, they carried themselves brilliantly from start to finish and were a credit to their families, our lodge, and the Junior Institution.

A sincere thank you goes to all our parents for your continued support, encouragement, and commitment throughout the year. Whether it’s attending practices, helping behind the scenes, or supporting the boys on days like today, your dedication is greatly appreciated and plays a huge part in everything we do.

Congratulations to Newtownhamilton LOL No. 9 on hosting this year’s Twelfth. The day was exceptionally well organised, and your hard work and hospitality ensured a successful and enjoyable occasion for everyone.

The sunshine, music, fellowship, and atmosphere made it a day to remember, and we’re delighted our young men were able to be part of it.

Well done once again to all our boys—we couldn’t be prouder of you. Here’s to many more great memories together.

🧡 Richhill JLOL No. 285 🧡

Tomorrow, the Twelfth celebrations get underway in Rossnowlagh, before demonstrations take place across Northern Ireland on Monday.

We want to wish everyone a safe, enjoyable and memorable Twelfth of July. We hope the weather is kind and that the weekend is filled with friendship, fellowship and lasting memories.

To all our junior members, enjoy every minute of it. Wear your colours with pride, represent your lodges well, and make memories that will stay with you for years to come.

If the sun does make an appearance, stay safe by wearing sunscreen, keeping hydrated and looking out for one another.

And don’t forget our Twelfth Photography Competition! We’d love to see your favourite photographs from this year’s Twelfth celebrations. The competition is open to all Junior Orange members, so be sure to get your entries in.
