The student protesters and members of the Loyal Citizens of Ulster face each other at the railway bridge outside Antrim Town.
When the marchers approached Antrim Town, the Loyal Citizens of Ulster were waiting at the railway bridge to block them. There was a stand-off for a couple of hours before an agreement was reached that the marchers would be taken by police transport through Antrim Town.
Major Ronald Bunting and student Michael Farrell are seen in the middle of the crowd.
