Watch out for traffic delays and detours today because Rossnowlagh is the only place in the world where the Twelfth of July falls on 10 July. The Donegal Orange Lodges hold their traditional parade with fine music and marching from about 11.00 am  till 4.00pm. It's an opportunity to enjoy the spectacle of a full Twelfth Commemoration, the only one in the Republic of Ireland. If you have to miss it you'll catch it on the TV news later in the day. Meanwhile check below to see how the sunset turned the sky orange last night in honour of the day ahead and then check out how well an orange lily can grow in Rossnowlagh:
