- description: Trouble broke out when an Orange Order parade was stopped on the Woodvale Road. Police were enforcing a Parades Commission ban. Several police officers and one civilian have been hurt. Water cannon and baton rounds were used after a sustained attack on police. Police were attacked with ceremonial swords as well as missiles. The Parades Commission ruling stopped Orange Order lodges from walking on a stretch of road in north Belfast that separates loyalist and nationalist communities. The marching season in Northern Ireland is a period of events from April to August, with the highpoint on 12 July when Orangemen march to commemorate William of Orange's victory over the Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1690. William III is revered by the order as a champion of his faith. The Orange Order commemorate his victory in their annual parades. Many Catholics see the marches as triumphalist and sectarian with some traditional Orange routes passing through or past areas occupied mainly by Catholics and nationalists.
