Orangemen are decent Christian Protestants who originate from Ulster; now there are lodges across the world varying in ethnicity. The Grand Orange Lodge is split into smaller lodges in local areas for men of the surrounding village, town, or city to join. Each lodge has a designated band in which they walk behind in support of. The lodge host many colourful parades to commemorate those lost in battles and wars fighting for their faith and country, for example, one of the most well know days of celebration is the 12th of July when there are parades across the whole province in support of those men who fought against James for the religious freedom of the country; without them James wanted the whole of England and Ireland to be Catholic but thanks to the men who fought during the Batttle of the Boyne people had a choice. Another event they remember is the Battle of the Somme, which was a battle during the First World War where a significant amount of soldiers who were Ulster - Protestants died fighting for King and country; this was a truly tragic event for everyone in Britain, and both the North and South of Ireland. During big parades, the Orangemen organise a charity to collect for such as the Hospice or children's cancer research which is a big help to these charities. Orangemen are often portrayed by the media to be something they are not, they are portrayed to be bigoted and disrupting peace when in fact they are the complete opposite.
