TWO men were arrested as thousands of Loyalist marchers from all over the UK paraded through the streets of Glasgow on Saturday.

The procession involved an estimated 3300 members of the Apprentice Boys of Derry and about 50 bands.

Streets were lined with supporters and traffic stopped as the parade left the city's Glasgow Green at noon, following a route around the East End.

There was a heavy police presence around the march.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "Two men were arrested - one for alleged sectarian offences and the other for an outstanding warrant."

The Apprentice Boys were set up in memory of the 1689 Siege of Derry, when the Catholic James II of England and VII of Scotland, at war with William of Orange, laid siege to the Protestant stronghold.
