Ulster Covenant: Thousands due at centenary parade
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19765586
Northern Ireland's biggest policing operation in 20 years is under way in Belfast.
It is estimated as many as 30,000 marchers will take part in a parade to mark one of the most significant dates in unionist history.
The six-mile march from central Belfast to Stormont will mark the 100th anniversary of the Ulster Covenant, to oppose Home Rule for Ireland in 1912.
Thousands of spectators are also expected to watch the parade.
