31 of the best pictures as Apprentice Boys hold Lundy's Day commemoration

Thousands of members of the Apprentice Boys of Derry from far and wide, accompanied by bands, took part in the annual Shutting of the Gates commemoration in Derry / Londonderry on Saturday.

Also known as Lundy’s Day, the celebration brought together visiting branch clubs and bands in a parade from the Waterside to the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall.

The main parade made its way from Society Street around the city centre to a service of thanksgiving in St Columb’s Cathedral.

Following the service, the parade made its way back to Bishop Street for the traditional burning of ‘Lundy the traitor’.
