- Story Text: Members of Northern Ireland's unionist community have worked to build what they hope will be the highest ever Eleventh Night bonfire.
Locals from the Craigyhill area in Larne have been stacking wooden pallets that they have collected over the past few months to construct the fire for the annual Ulster Protestant celebration.
They hope to reach a height of 76 metres, or 250 feet.
Northern Ireland's pro-British Loyalist Orders hold an Eleventh Night bonfire every year on the eve of their July 12 celebrations.
