A new Orange Arch has been built at the Orange Hall on Clifton Street in Belfast.
The chairperson of Clifton Street Orange Arch Committee, Brother Trevor McIntyre, said it had involved a year's work.
“With the arch in place we trust that every Sister and Brother will look upon it with pride," he said.

“At the beginning of June last year, a small group of Orange Brethren got together in Clifton Street Orange Hall to discuss the possibility of erecting an Orange Arch.
“One of the good things coming out of that meeting was the determination and enthusiasm from the Brethren to see an Orange Arch in place and we would put all our efforts into completing this venture.
“It was an ambitious plan but we were always confident that it could be done. And now, a year later and after an awful lot of hard work, the arch is finally in place."
Mr McIntyre thanked those residents who supported the construction of the arch and said that a small service of dedication was led by the Orange Order's Grand Secretary Rev. Mervyn Gibson on Thursday.
