Summary created with AI assistance · Source: bbc.co.uk

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher advised that enforcement would require major intervention and carry unacceptable risks of serious injury and disorder.

The Parades Commission allowed the march under restrictions, but a large protest on Garvaghy Road prevented it.

The commission considered its original ruling no longer to have lasting legal effect after the PSNI assessment; courts would ultimately decide.

By last Thursday, the policing operation connected with the dispute had cost approximately £3 million.

The best places to see the solar eclipse in the UK, from Armagh to Cornish beaches

Key FactsSolar Eclipse Draws Crowds Across Britain and Europe

Aug 12, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: mirror.co.uk

The solar eclipse visible on August 12 covered up to 96 percent of the Sun in Britain, making it the most significant since 1999.

At Land’s End, the Moon reportedly covered 98.5 percent of the Sun as hundreds of people watched.

Totality reached Iceland and Greenland first; near Miranda de Ebro in Spain, complete darkness lasted about 90 seconds.

Police were called in Bristol as hundreds of people rushed to a tent distributing free eclipse glasses.

For a lot of people, it can be a little bit of an emotional event. I've seen previously people being drawn to tears or just have a really good moment within themselves where they realise they’re seeing or witnessing something… you’ve never seen before in your life.
— Dhara Patel, space expert at the National Space Centre, speaking at Leicester’s space attraction
