On the grand 3rd of August was our noble green walk.Before this Green Walk, the protestants declared they would not allow the Catholics to carry the flag past Coroneary or Knockbride. So they ordered the police not to let them carry it. There was a priest here at that time named Rev. J. Clarke. He went out to meet them and carried the flag. He must have been arrested for there was another song made about it.
