ULSTER COVENANT PARADE
Saturday, 29th September 2012
The colours for the 36th (Ulster) Division LOL 977 at Stormont.
Many feet are sore, but today we walked in the footsteps of Giants.
Well done to everyone who helped make history yesterday it will be a day that will be etched into everyone's memory who either participated or watched it was surely the greatest show on earth.
The police are estimating 65,000 at Stormont !
Yes there was a programme on Covenant. 80,000 people took to streets on Saturday and BBC seek to slag them off and bully them rather than give them a programme about the day itself with highlights.
What a fantastic parade, left Belfast at 11am still arriving at Stormont at 5pm. My ancestors can look forward to 2112, British then, British now and British we remain.
Superb support along the 6 mile route, good to know that the Unionist people of all shades are in good form and if there were few minor breaches of a
Parades Commission determination.
Made me proud to be a Protestant & Orangeman.
Didn't the Ulstermen stand up today - well done to the Grand Lodge of Ireland ...
Fantastic day, proud to have been part of it all
A truly mammoth parade and wonderful spectacle!

Brothers Richard Armstrong & Fraser Tailby from our sister lodge (maybe that should be brother), 36th (Ulster) Division Memorial, L.O.L. 1914 from the City of Leicester, presenting a Jubilee Crown and a Special Edition, King James Authorised Version. Our lodge is very thankful to our English brethren for these wonderful gifts.
MUCH TO THINK ABOUT!

after the Somme Memorial Service in the Assembly Hall, 1st July 2012.
Our members will continue to carry these historic Standards for as long
as we can. But we need men with a love for our Faith
and our History to join us to to ensure that that they are
carried for many years to come.

The 36th (Ulster) Division Memorial L.O.L. 977 held their 92nd Anniversary Dinner in the Rehoboth Mission Church, Mount Vernon, North Belfast on Friday 1st April 2011. The lodge had the privilege of having as their guest speaker, W. Bro. Councillor Frazer Agnew P.M. As this year marks the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible, popularly known as the Authorised Version, Bro. Agnew took the opportunity to speak on the subject. He used the text "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Psalm 12:6) to illustrate the various stages in the development of the Authorised Version. The Worshipful Master, William Dickson thanked W. Bro. Agnew for his most enjoyable and enlighting talk and went on to thank all the members and friends of the lodge for their loyal support over many years in keeping 977 active as a 'living memorial' within No 3 District.
