Hundreds of thousands of Unionists will take to the streets of Northern Ireland to celebrate the 335th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
The celebrations, simply known as the Twelfth of July, revolve around Protestant King William of Orange's victory over Catholic King James II.
The People’s Channel will be on the ground covering the celebrations for a fourth year running.
Coverage will be led by ex-Northern Ireland First Minister Dame Arlene Foster and GB News’ correspondent Dougie Beattie.
Beattie said: “July 12 marks a pivotal moment in British constitutional history and, once again, GB News will bring our viewers and listeners the very best coverage.
"The events commemorated on this date not only reshaped the future of the British Isles, but they also had lasting implications for Ireland and, ultimately, the emerging ideals of liberty across the Atlantic.”
GB News’ coverage will feature the Chief Executive of the Ulster-Scots Agency Ian Crozier and actor Charlie Lawson.

GB News row EXPLODES over 'sick' Northern Ireland migrant effigy protest - 'All they want is to be heard'
A heated debate erupted on GB News over the burning of migrant effigies at a Northern Ireland bonfire, with commentator Matthew Stadlen condemning the act as "sick" and "pure bigotry and nastiness".
The row centred on an incident in Moygashel, County Tyrone, where life-sized mannequins wearing life jackets were placed in a model boat atop a traditional July 12 bonfire.
Speaking on GB News, Stadlen said: "This was just pure bigotry and nastiness. You can have strong views about people coming to this country illegally, lots of people do.
"It is the Government's policy to try to stop those boats; that’s what they've been trying to do, successfully or not. We'll have to wait and see with Macron this week. But to burn an effigy of people in a boat I mean, it's sick."
What to expect from GB News's July 12 coverage
GB News returns for its fourth consecutive year of coverage from Northern Ireland's July 12 Parades, with Dame Arlene Foster and correspondent Dougie Beattie leading broadcasts from Coleraine.
The People's Channel will capture the historic commemorations as half a million participants and spectators mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
Coleraine was selected as the broadcast location due to its historical importance as the site of the first organised migration to America in the early 1700s.
The coverage will feature Ulster-Scots Agency Chief Executive Ian Crozier discussing the enduring significance of the Glorious Revolution and how ancestors helped establish a new world based on King William's Bill of Rights.
GB News will also be joined by actor-turned-commentator Charlie Lawson.
Outlining the significance of July 12, Beattie said: "July 12 marks a pivotal moment in British constitutional history and, once again, GB News will bring our viewers and listeners the very best coverage."
