The lambeg drums were very prominent in Orange Parades then. A closer look at the picture and you can see in the background, just between the two drums, tall with black hair and a coat over his left arm - my late father, Blakely Clarke Anderson.
Dad was a life long member of the Orange Institution - Mill Street Hero's LOL 1908. He never really explained why he was a member of this Lodge, as he was very much a Greenwell Street man all his life, we never shared the same Orange Lodge, but we did share all aspects of our Orange Traditions!
