'No piggybacking on protest' - SF

Gerry Adams
Sinn Féin has organised a protest against the armed forces parade

Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has warned dissident republicans not to "piggy back" on the party's protest against the armed forces parade.

The armed forces and Sinn Féin have both altered Sunday's homecoming parade and protest in Belfast.

An RAF flypast has been cancelled and soldiers will be unarmed, while Sinn Féin has changed the route and times of its protest.

"Anybody looking for trouble shouldn't be coming here," said Mr Adams.

Dissident republicans opposed to the Sinn Féin leadership strategy of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness are still planning to march in the city.

Their protest has not been approved by the Parades Commission, which has already determined on the main two events.
