The complex history and identity of the loyalist community in Northern Ireland is often overshadowed by the region's broader political divisions.

Yet, this distinct group has a rich cultural heritage that deserves deeper exploration.

Loyalists in Northern Ireland are characterized by their unwavering allegiance to the British Crown and their desire to maintain Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom.
