Thousands of people flocked to the seaside village of Carnlough on Sunday to attend the Ancient Order of Hibernians annual parade.

It's the first time the village has hosted the parade for almost ten years and upwards of 20 bands took part.
The event is celebrated on the nearest Sunday to August the 15th.
