Several hundred Orangemen were prevented by the RUC from parading along the nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown, Co Armagh, yesterday. The Orangemen, who had attended morning worship in Drumcree Parish Church, were turned back in accordance with the Parades Commission ruling.
Earlier, a spokesman for Portadown District Lodge, Mr David Jones, said the order's protest over the ruling would continue, with parades and rallies in the coming weeks.
