Mosque replica and anti-immigration signs appear on Northern Ireland bonfire

In Moygashel, Northern Ireland, a loyalist bonfire during Orange Order celebrations featured a replica mosque and anti-immigration signs, including messages like 'Secure our borders' and 'End the threat of radical Islam'. The display has drawn criticism, as similar controversial symbols have appeared at the same location in prior years. Bonfires are traditional events preceding Orange Order parades on 12 July, commemorating the 1690 Battle of the Boyne. While these events hold cultural significance for loyalists, they frequently provoke debates over the political messaging associated with them.
