Thousands of Orangemen and supporters have gathered in Belfast for what is expected to be one of the largest ever parades in Northern Ireland in the modern era.
The main parade will make its way to the grounds of Stormont, where the Grand Master of the Orange Order, Edward Stevenson will address the crowd.
Many of those taking part in the march have donned period costumes, recreating the scenes of 1912 when thousands turned out to oppose Home Rule.
Early reports suggest that a feeder parade past a Catholic church in north Belfast has passed off peacefully.
