THE sun shone brightly in Fermanagh on Monday as a total of seven Twelfth of July parades took place in towns and villages across the county this centennial year. The parades included Enniskillen, Ballinamallard, Brookeborough, Monea, Maguiresbridge, Magheraveely and Kesh, with good attendance at each from Orange Lodges and bands. As with the traditional Twelfth demonstration, a short religious service was held during the event that included the reading of the resolutions, a prayer and a Bible reading. Speaking to The Impartial Reporter at the Enniskillen parade about the format of this year's Twelfth of July events in Fermanagh, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, County Grand Secretary Alan Elliott explained: "We have seven parades in County Fermanagh, all timed for the same time to stop people moving between parades so that we're not spreading coronavirus."
