About 300 loyalists attended a rally organised by Antrim Concerned Protestants last night in protest against the Belfast Agreement. Speakers included Mr Sammy Wilson of the DUP and Ms Pauline Gilmore of the Ulster Civil Rights Movement, writes Suzanne Breen in Antrim. During the speeches there were shouts of "Up the LVF".

Mr Wilson said the agreement could only be sold through "lies, deceit and false opinion polls" and accused Mr David Trimble of treachery.
