Several hundred loyalist protesters have taken part in a demonstration outside Belfast City Hall over the Union flag controversy.
The protesters were addressed by a number of speakers, including loyalist activist William Frazer.
The main road outside the City Hall was blocked for time during the protest.
A large number of PSNI riot police were on standby nearby but the rally passed off without incident and the crowd dispersed peacefully.
