Van set on fire following dissident republican Easter parade in Derry

Petrol bombs were also thrown at members of the media covering the event
A van has been set on fire following a dissident march in Derry to mark the anniversary of the Easter Rising.
Petrol bombs were also thrown at members of the media covering the event, as police warned the public to avoid the Creggan area of the city.


There was a colour party made up of people wearing face coverings, sunglasses and paramilitary-style dress, carrying the Irish flag and a host of republican flags.
Wreaths were laid at the republican plot at the City Cemetery and an oration was delivered.


A number of young people with masks covering their faces attended the parade, carried crates of petrol bombs and lumps of masonry.
Media came under attack following the march, with a number of petrol bombs thrown.


Police on the ground were attacked at the same event last year with petrol bombs and other missiles.
Groups marched in west Belfast and other areas in Northern Ireland across the Easter weekend as part of an annual public marking of the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising against the then-British rule across the island of Ireland.
Most parades were lawful and passed without incident.
