Officers escape without injury with little visible police presence in the area following 'terrorist attack' warning
Police in Derry appeared to pull back after coming under attack as an un-notified republican parade made its way through the Creggan area.
As the group marched from Central Drive, a police landrover was spotted by masked youths in the crowd at the junction between Lisfort Drive and the Iniscairn Road. A police landrover was struck and several projectiles were thrown in the direction of a police car, amid shouts of 'get the car' from some in the crowd, but both vehicles appeared to avoid further attack by swiftly withdrawing.
One speaker described the event as “respectful and dignified, paying homage to the revolutionary heroes of 1916 and all the republican dead”.
