Orange Order parade passes off peacefully
An Orange Order parade in east Belfast has passed off peacefully despite protests by nationalist residents.
The parade saw thousands of marchers make its way along the Albertbridge Road and onto the Ravenhill Road close to the mainly Catholic Short Strand area on Thursday evening.
A huge security presence, which saw large metal shutters and Land Rovers lined along the route, screened the march from hundreds of protestors.
Two hours after the 45 minute march, the security operation was scaled down and the area was described as calm.
