It was raining last night at a bonfire I was at near central Belfast and again this morning on the main Belfast parade. And the old cliche is true - it really didn't dampen spirits!    Like GB News, which has stepped in where the well funded BBC dropped out of live coverage of this massive spectacle, the News Letter will as ever be covering the day comprehensively   See here ex Coronation Street star Charlie Lawson talks to 12th watchers in Belfast for GB News   Last night this video in one minute condenses a bonfire in Greenisland from before lit to mostly burnt out and this video is for a longer 12 min walk through the Sandy Row bonfire   Here are pics of the 210 foot Craigyhill bonfire, which was praised at Westminster for 'an amazing feat of engineering', after it was lit There was a lot of interest in this story when a child wearing a GAA top was invited to hit a loyalist bass drum    Tomorrow in the print edition we have a 32 page picture pull out from across Northern Ireland, and also pages of news and reports.   And all the while our website will be full or reports, pictures and videos. -- Ben Lowry Editor              Editorial: GB News has stepped in today where BBC NI has failed to provide Twelfth coverage   Read more +     Gone in 60 seconds: Video follows an eleventh night loyalist bonfire as it goes from standing tall to fiery ball   Read more +           These were the euphoric scenes at Craigyhill bonfire in Larne after the pyre was accoladed in Westminster                     Read more +     Subscribe today             Full access   Subscribe for unlimited access to all our articles, 70% fewer ads, daily puzzles and our desktop & mobile app. Your first month free .
