Happy 12th July
And here's to King William of glorious fame
And the Protestant Boys who rejoice in his name
And here's to the Lodges of Orange and Blue
For they are the boys that are loyal and true
NO SURRENDER!
Happy Orange Day! On this date, July 12, 1690, Protestant William of Orange, a Dutchman, defeated Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. William became King William III of England, Scotland and Ireland, nicknamed 'King Billy, ensuring that the British monarch would always be a Protestant.
