Two ribbon flares on the sun are sometimes preceded by luminous arcade like structures in the corona with fillament activity. The arcades which are associated with the coronal magnetic field are sometimes without these fillaments when they are found to be relatively long lived. The reasons underlying the stability and instability of these structures may be relevant in understanding the basic mechanism of two ribbon flares. Here we present results on the equilibrium structure of coronal arcades and their hydromagnetic stability taking into account the effects of magnetic field line-tying on the photosphere.
