Description

The Apprentice Boys of Derry (ABD) held their annual parade in Derry and went around the walls for the first time in 25 years. However, Republicans staged a sit-down demonstration before the parade began and were forcibly removed by the RUC. Rioting in Derry followed the parade and police fired 40 plastic bullets. There were also disturbances on Ormeau Road, Belfast, and at Dunloy and Rasharkin, County Antrim.
