Hundreds of people have gathered to demand an end to paramilitary violence in Northern Ireland.

The main street of the Co Tyrone town of Omagh was brought to a standstill as crowds assembled in front of the courthouse for a rally in solidarity with a police officer shot by gunmen at a sports centre in front of his young son.
