Sash
Sash er band dei britisk-lojale ordenane nyttar for å syna kva organisasjon (t.d. Orangeordenen, Apprentice Boys of Derry eller Royal Black Institution dei er med i og kva lokalorganisasjon dei soknar til - i Orangeordenen kalla losje - blant «the Blackmen» kalla «preceptory». Sashen syner og kor langt den aktuelle medlemen har klatra i gradssystemet. I Orangeordenen er viktige delar av sashen oransje, medan dei sentrale delane av sashen til Royal Black Institution er svart.
Sashen spelar ei avgjerande rolle i unionistisk historiemedvit og ikonografi - dette er til dømes tydeleg uttrykt i den mest kjende Orangesongen av alle, «The Sash My Father Wore»:
So sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came,
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear the sash my father wore!
Omkvæde:
It is old but it is beautiful, and its colours they are fine
It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne.
My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore,
And on the Twelfth, I love to wear the sash my father wore.
For those brave men who crossed the Boyne have not fought or died in vain
Our Unity, Religion, Laws, and Freedom to maintain,
If the call should come we'll follow the drum, and cross that river once more
That tomorrow's Ulsterman may wear the sash my father wore!
Omkvæde:
And when some day, across the sea to Antrim's shore you come,
We'll welcome you in royal style, to the sound of flute and drum
And Ulster's hills shall echo still, from Rathlin to Dromore
As we sing again the loyal strain of the sash my father wore!
