Disturbance at Orange Parade

Every year, on the 12th of July, Protestants celebrate and commemorate Prince William of Orange's 1690 battle of the Boyne victory over the Catholic King James the II.

Although the day passed relatively peacefully compared to previous years, it was spoilt by a small group of Catholic protesters who hurled abuse, spat at the peaceful parade and threw stones and golf balls as the parade was passing the Ardoyne.

No one was badly injured but one Catholic protester was hurt when a rock thrown behind her from other protesters hit the back of her head.
