Violence in north Belfast marks the culmination of the marching season. A total of 250 petrol bombs and two blast bombs are thrown during seven hours of clashes in Ardoyne. Police reply with almost 50 plastic bullets. The violence sparks a round of bitter recrimination between the loyalist and republican communities.
