SUMMARY:Thought for the Day
DESCRIPTION:It was at 11pm on 4th August 1914 that British Forces engaged in open combat and World War One or the Great War as it is commonly know commenced. Thousands upon thousands of young men would leave their homeland to fight for our freedoms\, liberties and British way of life.\n \nUntold thousands would never return home again.  Our nation was to be robbed of a young generation who paid the Supreme Sacrifice and  would give their lives on the battlefields of France. \n \nOn the Centenary on Monday 4th August 2014\, the Cullybackey Branch of the Royal British Legion\, along with a number of supporters gathered around the War Memorial in the Village of Cullybackey\, their purpose was to pay tribute to and remember those who had fallen but would never be forgotten.  This was part of a National Act of Reflection and Remembrance as people gathered throughout the nation around Cenotaphs and War Memorials to pay tribute to those who in a bye gone age defended our honour.\n \nThe Chairman of the Royal British Legion Major ( retd ) Bill Canning welcomed all assembled to the short service. Two minutes silence was then observed after which a lone Piper played a lament.\n \nIt was my great privilege and honour to bring just a few thoughts from Gods precious Word. We considered the bible text written upon the head stone of Noel Chavasse who was a recipient of not one but two Victoria Crosses\, and was the most decorated soldier in World War One.\n \nThe Text was    ” Greater love hath no man than this\, that a man lay down his life for his friends ” John 15 v 3 \n \nNo Greater Love than the Love of Christ \n– A Love that brought him from the realms of Glory and took him to Calvary’s Cross\n \nNo Greater Man than the Person of Christ \n– He was God incarnate\, God manifest in the flesh\, in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.\n \nNo Greater Life than the Life of Christ\n– He was the Sinless Spotless Son of God\, who gave his life a ransom for the many\, and bore our sins in his own body on the tree.\n \nNo Greater Friend than the Lord Jesus Christ  \n– The Bible says that he is a friend that sticketh closer than any brother.\n

SUMMARY:Drive-In Drums at Drumraw
DESCRIPTION:The Twelfth would really not be the Twelfth without the sound of the lambed drum. This year it is one instrument that won’t be affected by social distancing as you are probably advised to stand back at least two metres normally. The Independent Twelfth has been welcoming more dunning parties over the last few years and it has a long tradition of lambed drumming with the Wilkinson Family one of the original Lambeg Drum makers of Ulster. \nThe lambeg legend is that this giant of drums came over with King William to Ireland\, and on that morning of the Battle of the Boyne the sound of a wren pecking crumbs off the head of a drum awoke the drummer who signalled the alarm and ensured a primitive attack by the Jacobites was foiled. However like all great legends this story has grown over time. It makes for a great tale\, but any drum man will tell you it couldn’t have happened like that – for sure no drummer would love the head of his drum open to the elements much less a hungry bird!  However like many myths there is a central truth\, William’s army many have brought a larger style of drum used by his Dutch Blue Guards. Like the legend the drum did now over time and probably as one drum maker sought to outdo the others they built bigger and bigger drums. In fact the only things that stopped the drums getting even bigger was the ability of one man to carry them and the limit to the size of a goatskin\, for no matter how much you can wet and stretch it they are bound but the size of the animal. \nThis year like every other Twelfth as far back as men can remember\, the drums have been pulled in preparation for the Twelfth. Of course this year social distancing was observed but the same traditions and techniques had to be used. The result is that the men of McNeillstown and Drumraw will be heard even if they can’t be seen on the roads. Members will meet at Drumraw Hall to let the drums sing on the Twelfth and while we are not advertising the event as a public event due to public restrictions\, it is one instrument that you can enjoy from your car. So we will be hosting a Drive-in Drum Session on the Twelfth. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Platform Proceedings
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to watch our Platform Proceedings online and hear what the ILOI has to say this year.  \nIn 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. \nThe 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. \nWe 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 \n

SUMMARY:Marching Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:This year as we looked at what made the Twelfth special we realised that it was seeing bands\, banners and brethren on parade. For both those marching and watching it is the visual spectacle of the Order on the march which makes the day. So we decided to look back at previous Twelfths. \nIn recent months during lockdown the Institution has not been asleep. We have taken the time to research and archive much of our history. One huge task was to collect and collate pictures\, and that was undertaken by Wor. Bro. William Fenton. His work on our Flickr site  has made it possible for us to bring you an online exhibition of past Twelfths. \nSo to see us on parade just check here and enjoy the sights and sounds of previous Twelfths. Watch brethren\, bands and banners on parade from a range of our County Antrim Demonstrations
