Orange Order To Exhibit Royal Memorabilia

A selection of Royal memorabilia is currently on display at the Museum of Orange Heritage in Belfast to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen as the longest reigning British monarch.

The Museum is located on the Cregagh Road in east Belfast.

Grand Master Edward Stevenson said: "Since ascending the throne 63 years ago, Her Majesty has seen great changes in society and major events unfold across the world. In all of these changes she has remained a constant focus for the nation. Her leadership has been outstanding, and her commitment and dedication incomparable.

"We all owe Her Majesty a huge debt of gratitude for her extraordinary sense of duty and service, devoting herself untiringly to her subjects. With God's blessing, we pray she will continue in her role as Head of State, setting an example to us all and playing a constant role in our national life."

The display will run until the end of the month.
