Browlow House in Lurgan, CoArmagh is the headquarters of the Royal Black Institution. Also known as Lurgan Castle, it was built as the home of the Brownlow family – once owners of the celebrated greyhound Master McGrath.

Waiting for the hearse to arrive I noticed an imposing Celtic Cross in the old section of the cemetery. A photo-opportunity!

Friday 10th July was the ‘Mini-Twelfth’ in Saintfield, – a friendly local festival with marching bands and colourful banners. Here’s just a few abstract images from the evening.
