As Ian Paisley and Major Ronald Bunting addressed their loyalist supporters in the Derry Guildhall, a large crowd of Catholics grew hostile outside.
The crowd was addressed by a number of civil rights leaders, including Ivan Cooper and Eamonn McCann, who had come from the People's Democracy march. All speakers urged the crowd to disperse, emphasising the damage any attack on the Loyalist gathering would have on the civil rights campaign.
Despite the appeals, there was some stone-throwing and breaking of windows, and Bunting's car was overturned and set on fire. Police use water cannons to disperse the crowd.
The report also features the damage done to shop-fronts and shop contents, as well as hoarding being put up to protect shops in the event of further trouble.
