Army veterans are set to hold a rally outside City Hall in Belfast on Friday morning.

The group Justice for Northern Ireland Veterans said it is organising the demonstration in protest at prosecutions of former soldiers in Troubles-related cases.

Meanwhile, a counter-protest has been planned by anti-Agreement republicans.

A major police operation will be in place to make sure both events, happening at the same time and in the same place, will pass off peacefully.

Earlier this week, Saoradh rejected demands to call off its march after DUP politicians met with the PSNI to voice concerns.

Conditions have been imposed by the Parades Commission and the republican march has to stop at the lights outside City Hall.

Saoradh insisted it will be a peaceful and dignified protest.

Police said an appropriate and proportionate policing operation will be in place and appealed for everyone to be responsible and respectful.
