The Orange Order parade proceeds on Garvaghy Road after the High Court in Belfast upholds a decision by the Parades Commission permitting the march. Outlets describe the court session as unprecedented, and note that it takes place after a late-night ruling.
Ahead of the first march in nearly 30 years, reports say security concerns are high. Crowds gather and block Garvaghy Road, raising tensions as the parade begins. The coverage focuses on the immediate impact of the court decision on whether the march can go ahead, and on the operational challenges of managing public access and safety in the area where the march is taking place.
While the accounts largely align on the sequence of events—court review, confirmation of the Parades Commission’s permission, and the parade’s start—they emphasize different elements of timing and crowd conditions, with the main shared theme being that the High Court ruling clears the way for the long-awaited march.
