The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland is already making significant plans to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III which takes place on 6th May at Westminster Abbey.
A range of events have already been planned by the wider membership of the Orange Institution, with fun days, concerts and parades all taking place.
Grand Lodge has also launched a special flag to mark the Coronation year.
The flag, which is shown below, feature’s King Charles III’s Cypher and the King’s Crown.

This is displayed prominently on the instantly recognisable Orange Standard.
It is anticipated that the flags will be available for sale from Schomberg House by the end of February.
They are priced at £10 each, however there will be a reduced price applied of £8 per flag for orders of more than 10.

Details of a small selection of other Coronation items will be announced in the coming weeks.
