The youngsters belong to the roughly 6,000-strong Belfast Battalion (which actually includes members from north Down, Lisburn and Newtownabbey), and were attending their annual church service, taking place at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution in the city centre, before marching past the City Hall at about 4.15pm accompanied by bugle, flute and pipe bands.
