The Royal Black Institution has decided to re-route part of its parade due to take place on Whitewell Road in north Belfast on Saturday. It took its decision after some local nationalists objected and demanded dialogue with local Black Preceptories.

The five main Royal Black parades on Saturday will be in Lurgan, Cookstown, Lisburn, Dundrum and Moneymore.
