Help with dating photograph in another thread

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me date the photograph above so that I can help another forumite work out who the two people are.

Ignoring the two sashes (which are from the Orange Order and Royal Black) - based on the clothing could anyone hazard a rough guess as to the year?

Cheers,
Mark

What a lovely picture. Can’t see the lodge number on the sash. Only that the man was Worshipful Master. If I were to guess I would say early 1900s

I would agree with early 1900.

A tad easier to see perhaps: 1900 seems a good idea:
