19:59Now PlayingNorthern Ireland was invented 100 years ago with six of the nine counties of Ulster to ensure a Protestant unionist majority would rule the statelet forever, after 26 counties of Ireland gained home rule, and then independence from the British.
Today, Northern Ireland has a Catholic nationalist First Minister in Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill, and last week returned more nationalist MPs to Westminster than unionist for the first time since the creation of the state.
The weekend of the Twelfth of July has historically been seen as a display of Protestant supremacy in Northern Ireland, but now the celebrations feel different.
We went to Belfast to find out how the Protestant community feel about the changing landscape of their home.
