The biggest Orange demonstration outside Belfast paraded through the streets of Markethill, Co Armagh, for the first time in a decade.
More than 7,000 Orangemen, including those who marched at Drumcree last Sunday, were accompanied by some 80 bands.
Visiting brethren from counties Cavan and Monaghan swelled the Orangemen's ranks.
Eleven Districts, including Portadown, Lurgan, Loughgall, Newtownhamilton, Bessbrook and Keady, along with the hosts, Markethill, took part in the Co Armagh demonstration.
The Loughgall district holds a special place in the history of Orangeism, the Order having been formed there after the Battle of the Diamond in 1795.
Saturday's parade was only the sixth time the Co Armagh demonstration had been held in Markethill since the formation of the Orange Order over 200 years ago.
Fleets of buses conveyed the Orangemen and their supporters to the assembly area in preparation for the main parade.
In the town, many visitors, armed with deck chairs, quickly located the best vantage point from which to watch the Orangemen and the bands complete the two-mile trek towards "the field" at Mowham Road on the outskirts of Markethill.
Prior to the main parade starting, Orangemen from Markethill took part in a wreath laying ceremony at the town's War Memorial.
Shortly after 10 a.m. the Co Armagh Orangemen, headed by Drumderg Flute Band from Keady, began making their way through the red, white and blue bunting decked streets of Markethill.
The Orange Order's County Armagh Grand Master and former Ulster Unionist Assembly member, Mr Denis Watson, chaired the Markethill proceedings.
He was joined on the platform by a number of other senior Co Armagh Orangemen and the past Imperial Grand Master of the Orange Order in New Zealand, Mr Charles Ferrell.
In common with other demonstrations across the North, the Belfast Agreement came under attack from a number of the speakers.
Orangemen were also told that there was now a doubt regarding the British government's sincerity and honesty towards Northern Ireland.
There was also a call to exclude Sinn Féin from any role in the government of the North until there was clear proof that the IRA had ceased its paramilitary activities.
The Orange Order said it believed in a pluralist democracy premised on tolerance and civil and religious liberty for all, with specialist privileges for none.
However, a number of Orangemen listening to the speeches felt Orange Order leaders should have used the opportunity of the Twelfth to call for the resignation of UUP leader, Mr David Trimble.
"Trimble is the instigator of all the concessions to republicans," said veteran Orangeman, Mr William Montgomery.
"It's time to get shot of him and the Orange Order should lead the way in the call for his removal as Ulster Unionist leader before any more damage is done to the Union."
Following the platform proceedings, the Co Armagh Orangemen made their way back through Markethill. They then returned to their home towns for one final parade to conclude the celebrations marking the 313th anniversary of the Battle of Boyne in 1690.
