The Grand Secretary of Orange Order, Reverend Marvin Gibson, who was also in KD, said the growth up to the twelfth has been “tremendous”.
When asked about the eleventh night and the bonfire, he said: “99% of everything was surprisingly closed.
“Today there may not be a better day for this, the sun is shining and the bands are playing loudly, it is a great twelfth of July.”
Fleler Anderson said: “It is important to see that you can have a cultural identity that can be celebrated and it is peaceful.”
Democratic Unionist Party leader and Belfast East MP Gavin Robinson called for more political cooperation among the Sanghwist parties at the end of the Belfast Parade, where he was the keynote speaker.
He said that some people rejected the twelfth and “rather we would put our head down,” saying that the incident brought people together and was about “faith and freedom”.
“It crosses the class, it brids geography and it cuts the party’s political lines,” he said.
Thousands of people march through hairstyle in County Firmnagh, joined by members of the neighboring Orange Order Lodge in Counties Monaghan, Cavan, Letrim and Dongal.
Lindsay and Melissa, who first came to Belfast from Birmingham to see the parade, said that the passion that people had was “absolutely beautiful”.
“It is like a tradition that is being passed from generation to generation, I think it is really important,” Lindsay said.

Melissa said: “At least it is not raining.”

Mrs. McClay said: “This is our culture and I enjoy a great day. The grandchildren love it because their daddy parades.”
Eleventh night bonfire
Hundreds of bonfires were burnt to mark the eleventh night on Friday night – a tradition observed by many Sanghwadi communities on the eve of the twelfth.
Bonfire recalls the works of King William III supporters in 1690, who lit a fire across the country and welcome them and guide them at the battle site.
Most of the eleventh night bonfire passes without the event, but some are controversial due to their height or location, or because they are considered aggressive.
This year a Bonfier caused concern in South Belfast Due to the presence of asbestos on the site, and the fact that it was close to an electric substation that supplies electricity to two nearby hospitals.
Between Donegall Road and Westlink, Was burnt on Friday night The police confirmed that they would not help in removing it.
