John Kelly reports: Some of Northern Ireland’s pipe bands took part in the Sham Fight parade in Scarva on Friday 13^th July. The annual Sham Fight is one of the largest cultural events in Northern Ireland’s calendar and tens of thousands of people who flocked to the event enjoyed a great day out in wall to wall sunshine.

The small and quaint Co. Down village has become renowned for hosting the biggest one-day event, at a single location, anywhere in the Province. Picture gallery:
