Bloody Sunday remembered at march

The parade remembered 13 civilians shot dead by British troops

Three arrests were made as 1,000 people took part in a parade in Glasgow to remember the victims of Bloody Sunday.

There was a heavy police presence as about 250 people protested against the march, which went ahead peacefully.

The march headed from Blythswood Square in the city centre to Kelvingrove Park, where a rally was held.

Police said they had a "robust" plan in place for the event, which was being organised by Cairde Na hEireann (Friends of Ireland).

The parade remembered the 13 civilians shot dead by British troops during a civil rights march in Londonderry on 30 January, 1972.

Eleven people were arrested at last year's event after protesters jeered and threw bottles at the procession.

Police said 250 people turned up to protest against the marchc

Trouble flared the previous year, when marchers and protesters were involved in violent clashes in the city's George Square.

A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said before this year's march that the force was confident there was a "robust but appropriate" policing plan in place.

Ch Supt David Christie said: "There was certainly a strength of feeling on both sides but I am delighted at the police operation today.

"Both the marchers and the protesters have behaved responsibly and there has been less trouble than there has been in previous years.

"The stewarding of the march itself was very pro-active and very effective."
