[@shill700]

why do some of the marchers wear aprons?

[@MrUlster77]

Just part of the regalia that some choose to wear, most office bearers will wear the aprons though some members do through choice. It's to do with the degrees and travels that are part of being in the Black

[@MrUlster77]

Alot of shared symbolism between the two organisations and also the Orange order as well.
