A peaceful religious protest has taken place outside Windsor Park in opposition to Northern Ireland’s first ever Sunday fixture on home soil.

A Belfast teenager who drowned under the wheels of a police vehicle in a Co Antrim river after a car chase was nearly twice over the drink-drive limit and had been sniffing butane gas, an inquest was told today.

Police in the North have been cleared of any wrongdoing in connection with the death of a man following a pursuit two years ago.
