A contested loyalist parade along a nationalist street in Portadown, Northern Ireland, will be allowed to proceed after a ban on the march was overturned late Saturday night.
The Orange Order parade along the Garvaghy Road is set to take place Sunday morning, following a legal back-and-forth in recent days over whether the march should be permitted.
The route has not seen the parade take place in nearly 28 years, and the decision comes amid concerns that the march could trigger renewed sectarian tension in the area.
The reversal followed an appeal against an earlier injunction that had blocked the march, clearing the way for it to proceed as scheduled.
