Orangemen putting up flags in Coleraine last night ahead of Saturday's Battle of the Somme parade have been attacked.
They were erecting Union and Ulster Flags in Killowen Street when several well-known republicans threw stones and beer bottles at them. No one was injured.

Here's Colerane PUP councillor Russell Watton:
Man injured after house and three vehicles set alight in Co Antrim
IT system for Northern Ireland schools ‘largely restored’ following cyber attack
£100 home heating oil grant to be paid out by ‘summer at earliest’
Arrest made after hot water thrown over man at Co Tyrone court
Stormont urged to address ‘catastrophe’ in hospital emergency departments
