Orange Order to hold Drumcree parade

The Orange Order's annual Drumcree parade takes place in Portadown, County Armagh later today.

Following a ruling from the Parades Commission, Orangemen will not be allowed to march down the Garvaghy Road.

The Orange Order has been banned from parading down the mainly nationalist road since 1998.

The Garvaghy Road dispute has been the site of some of the most violent scenes in the North, as communities clash over the contentious march.

However, in recent years the event has passed off relatively peacefully.
