If you read up on this, you would realise that member of the Royal Family were actualy part of the Orange Order.
I don't remember any of the guys shouting at Catholic schools or kids as we marched during the 60s
I was child back then by the way.
It is about remebering our heritage
Oh I'm sorry
English people are not allowed heritage are they.
Unfortunately, I do remember the shouting... and as a youngster in the 60's I remember more anti-catholic speech than anti-black.
The vicar of St. Marys used to go to my gran to find out who the catholic families were in the nearby streets so he could skip the houses as he visited.

Earlier than that in the 30's, my father said he couldn't join his local Boy Scouts because he lived on the protestant side of the street (Tuebrook) and it was a Catholic troop.
I do think it was part of Liverpool culture in the 60's and earlier, whether we like it or not...
