A parade commemorating the Battle of the Boyne met no opposition as it passed through a republican district, says The Guardian. [theguardian.com]

Several hundred Orangemen, flute bands and loyalist supporters filed past the republican Ardoyne district in north Belfast without any protests from Catholic residents.

[...]

Significantly, there were no hardline dissident republicans at the Ardoyne shops as the Orange Order parade went by.

There was heavy security around the area, with up to a dozen armoured police Land Rovers as well as two bomb disposal units on the Ardoyne Road. Police later said there had been no incidents and no arrests.
