(3 shots) 0.56 "The apprentice boys march once again through the very heart on Londonderry. It's four years ago since they were last allowed officially to do so. After that parade, in 1969, there were serious riots that went on for a couple of days and resulted in British forces coming in for the first time to restore law and order. They're still here, of course, perhaps a thousand troops around this -- keeping mostly well out of the way to make sure that nothing happens today. Only a small parade through the centre of Londonderry, to the war memorial, then back to St. Columba Cathedral for a service. Well away from this area, right on the other side of the river, a massive march, many thousands of men, coming into Londonderry from all parts of Northern Ireland for the traditional apprentice boys' parade."
