The Orange Order has cancelled this years 12th of July parades in the North.

In a statement the organisation says the decision was taken in light of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

They say it's in-line with current British Government health advice on restricting gatherings of people, self-isolation and social distancing.

They have been cancelled before, during the First and Second World Wars and the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.
