Police prepare a barricade as the Ligoneil Lodge arrive back to the stopping point on the Woodvale Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland, yesterday, following a parades commission ruling. Reports state that one man was stabbed in fighting in South Belfast between republican and loyalist factions during the parade run-up. The Orange Order celebrates every July 12 to commemorate the 1690 Battle of Boyne, in which Protestant William III of Orange defeated Catholic James II.
