Police block Drumcree Orange Order parade in Portadown, Northern Ireland, after protests

Police have stopped a controversial Orange Order parade, after protests in Portadown.

The Drumcree parade, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, was due to go ahead for the first time in 30 years after a series of legal challenges.

But the Orange Order was unable to make the permitted parade on Sunday morning as protesters gathered in the area. The stand-off continued throughout Sunday, and early-morning attempts on Monday to re-start the parade were blocked by police.
