The exhibition which explores traditions of banners and parades as practised by a wide range of organisations across the local area is part of the North East PEACE III Cultural Fusions heritage based project.

Sean Corcoran, Chairman of the Old Drogheda Society and Jim McArdle, of Millmount Museum, were thanked for generously lending the exhibition two of their splendid Guild banners, which date back to the start of the nineteenth century.
