Protestant Loyalists flock from all over the UK and further afield to Belfast on the weekend of the 12th July to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, when Protestant King William of Orange defeated Catholic King James II.

The celebrations have long offended the Irish nationalist community in the north, with parades frequently playing anti-Irish songs in majority Catholic areas and pushing a Protestant supremacist narrative.

We went to Belfast to ask the people what they think about their Catholic neighbours being intimidated by the Orange marches.
