The Scrava demonstration attracts an attendance estimated to be in the region of 40,000 to 50,000 and the central proceedings are the parade by the 70 Preceptories and bands; the taking of the salute by the Sovereign Grand Master in the forecourt of Scarvagh House a few yards from "King William's Tree," and the re-enactment of the Battle of the Boyne with Williamite and Jacobite forces, some mounted on horseback, and finally the religious service and adoption of a number of resolutions.

The last Saturday in August is the main demonstration date for most Black preceptories in Northern Ireland, with rallying points at up to six centres. Fermanagh, Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan Sir Knights hold a demonstration in Fermanagh on the second Saturday in August - the same day as Scottish preceptories hold their rally.

The Royal Black Institution will continue to add to its valuable role in maintaining the Protestant cause and the fostering of friendly relations among people of a common heritage on what is truly a Worldwide scale.
