The Royal Black Preceptory has held a parade in Raphoe, Co Donegal, its first ever march in the Republic.
Over 3,000 people, including up to 30 marching bands, participated in what the organisers said was a festival based on religion, not politics.
Later in Bundoran, Co Donegal, Republican Sinn Féin held their 24th annual Hunger Strike Commemoration march through the town.
