Twelfth of July celebrations have begun in Northern Ireland with the lighting of bonfires.
A number of the traditional Eleventh Night bonfires were lit late on Friday with further pyres to be ignited on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
A large crowd attended the Corcrain bonfire on Friday night in Portadown where a fireworks display also took place.
The bonfires are lit ahead of the Orange Order’s July 12 parades across Northern Ireland on Monday.
The parades mark the 334th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, when the Protestant King William of Orange triumphed over the Catholic King James.
While most of the bonfires pass off without incident, several have become the focus of contention due to the placing of flags, effigies and election posters on the structures before they are ignited.
There was widespread condemnation after a bonfire in Moygashel, Co Tyrone, featured a replica of a mosque on top.
That bonfire was lit a day early on Thursday night ahead of a planned police operation to remove the effigy.
Meanwhile, thousands of people have taken part in the annual Orange Order parade in Rossnowlagh in Co Donegal on Saturday.
Lodges from across Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan took part in the parade.
In Royal Hillsborough in Co Down, a display of Lambeg drumming took place ahead of the village hosting one of the main Twelfth parades on Monday.
