Thousands took to the streets on Saturday in the annual Boyne Parade, which is the biggest parade of the year.

A police spokesman confirmed the arrests.
Police accompanied around 4000 marchers playing instruments and waving banners and flags.
They say an additional 4,000 to 5,000 followed the parade and congregated in Glasgow Green after walking through the city centre from all sides.
A number of road restrictions were put in place between 9am-4pm, with drivers advised to seek alternative routes throughout the city centre.
