Members of the Orange Order have been granted permission to parade down a street which was a notorious flashpoint during the Troubles for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Garvaghy Road in Portadown is a predominantly nationalist road, and the Orange Order’s Drumcree parades have been banned there since the late 1990s.
