Tuesday will see the annual Twelfth of July parades roll into towns and villages across Co Derry, with parades being held across the county.
Scores of Orangemen, women and juniors – accompanied by the region of 600 marching bands – will step out at the different locations with pageantry, colour and heritage on display.
Due to several parade routes happening across the city before the main parade taking place in Limavady, some road closures can be expected throughout the city.
