Minor scuffles as Orange Order march begins
Some minor scuffles broke out in North Belfast as an Orange Order marched passed through the catholic area of Ardoyne.
Nationalist protesters clashed with police after the march passed peacefully through the interface area. Punches were thrown, but the area is now peaceful.
The security forces are on the alert for more violence this evening when the parade makes its second journey through the area, but Orangemen say a peaceful solution was reached last night following talks with community groups.
