SUMMARY:King William's Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Almost as soon as the smoke of battle had cleared and the capital of Ireland was back under Williamite control the city began planning one of the biggest celebrations it had ever seen. The Government of the day began planning a birthday party for the King\, as a tribute to their great Deliverer\, as a sign of their loyalty\, to give thanks to God for his help and to show their resolve to win the war that was still raging in the west of Ireland. \nAs an Institution dedicated to the memory of King William III Prince of Orange\, we continue those celebrations of his birthday. Indeed at one time its celebration and the commemoration of his landing in England on 5 November gave rise to a double celebration which for many years was a civic event established by law. Dublin became a centre for these celebrations and the equestrian statue of King William at College Green in front of Trinity College hosted annual parades and celebrations which first began on 4 November 1690\, King Williams’s fortieth birthday. \nDespite the sectarian attacks on this display of loyalty and commemoration of our Glorious Heritage Orangemen across Ireland\, and indeed the world still remembers that great double celebration of 4-5 November. Many lodges hold meetings on that night with some even holding off installations of officers to ensure that it falls on or near that date. Toasts are still made and the event marked at dinners and private gatherings.

SUMMARY:Remember Remember the Fifth of November
DESCRIPTION:Remember remember the Fifth of November\, Gunpowder treason and Plot\n \nFor centuries the people of Britain were required by law to commemorate the Gunpowder Treason plot and to give thanks to God for his deliverance of the King\, Lords and Parliament. Parliament met in January 1606 and passed the Thanksgiving Act. This made services and sermons commemorating the plot a regular annual feature each 5 November. \nThousands of sermons were delivered on that date over the next two centuries and hundreds of them were published. The tradition grew of marking the day with the ringing of church bells and bonfires. Fireworks were also included in some of the earliest celebrations. \nFollowing the capture of Guy Fawkes on 5th November 1605 and the arrest of his fellow conspirators\, the Government responded immediately to this attempt to blow up the King and Parliament. \n  \n\nAn Act entitled ‘An Acte for a publique Thancksgiving to Almighty God everie yeere of the Fifte day of November’ was passed in January 1606 This proclaimed the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot should ‘be held in a perpetual Remembrance’ and that the day be ‘a holiday for ever in thankfulness to God for the deliverance and detestation of the Papists’. This annual ‘remembrance’ was to be marked by a morning service in every parish church at which a special prayer of thanksgiving was to be offered up.\n\n\n\nThese celebrations were always more lively when people saw a present Catholic threat. The custom of burning effigies of the Pope\, or the devil\, seems to have begun in the reign of Charles I (1625-49) and became more popular during the crisis over the succession of James II in 1678-81. It was only later that Guy Fawkes replaced the Pope as the figure burned on the 5 November bonfires. It became a night when Protestants across Britain reflected on events of the past and how they were preserved from a number of Catholic terrorist plots and coup d’etats. \nToday the tradition continues in England primarily\, with Bonfire night and the burning of the Guy. Children create a guy to be burnt in effigy to accompany the collection of money and firewood on Bonfire Night. This is a tradition that thrives in British playgrounds\, parks and streets to this day. \n\nBonfire Prayers \nRemember\, remember the Fifth of November\nThe Gunpowder Treason and plot\,\nI see no reason why Gunpowder Treason\nShould ever be forgot. \nGuy Fawkes\, Guy Fawkes ’twas his intent\nTo blow up the King and the Parliament\,\nThree score barrels of powder below\nPoor old England to overthrow. \nBy God’s providence he was catch’d\nWith a dark lantern and burning match\,\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, ring bells ring\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, God Save the King! \nA penny loaf to feed the Pope\nA farthing o’cheese to choke him\,\nA pint of beer to rinse it down\nA faggot of sticks to burn him. \nBurn him in a tub of tar\nBurn him like a blazing star\,\nBurn his body from his head\nThen we’ll say old Pope is dead. \nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah! \n

SUMMARY:Remembrance Sunday
DESCRIPTION:  \nMembers of the Institution will lay wreaths at various Remembrance events as they represent the Institution at Church and Civic Events. As with other years\, we work closely with the Royal British Legion to mark Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day\, and we as an Institution pay our respects to those who served and sacrificed. \n \nWe remind members to take the opportunity of the National Minutes silence at 11 am on 11 November for their own quiet reflection wherever they are. The Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall traditionally starts a weekend of commemoration with events on Remembrance Sunday at various cenotaphs and churches. \nJoin with us as we mark this time of national remembrance and also look back at other years when we organised events from parades to our own Festival of Remembrance
