Tune in to watch our Platform Proceedings online and hear what the ILOI has to say this year. 

In the field as families and friends meet and catch up on news and events from the last year, and lines of hungry brethren and bandsmen queue for hot food and ice cream, preparations are under way for the platform proceedings. For younger members the Twelfth Field is a place of fun and games with rides and inflatable games, for others it is a picnic field for families to enjoy the best of food and friendship sharing sandwiches even BBQs weather permitting.

The sound of instruments being tried out or lambeg drum tattoos sounding loud and proud across the open space. However all this subsides as people take their seats and listen to what is a mix of religious service, and a platform to give the Order’s position on matters of the day. The platform proceedings covers faith, current affairs, political and constitutional developments and gives the Order a unique opportunity to outline its position and plans for the ensuing year. It allows it to reinforce its core principles such as loyalty, faith, and its Unionism.

We have included a virtual Platform, with all the key elements from Resolutions to the Gospel Message and Hope that You will listen and learn as this years proceedings go virtual
