Summary

The Parades Commission had permitted a small silent Orangemen march through the predominantly nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown, but thousands of residents blocked the route, preventing the first such procession in almost thirty years. After the protest, the UK government said the security situation had changed and ordered the march cancelled, with police officials agreeing that allowing it would pose an unacceptable risk of violence and damage to the peace process.

From the original report

The Parades Commission, Northern Ireland's independent body regulating contentious processions, had authorised 35 Orangemen to march silently along the mostly Irish nationalist enclave of Garvaghy Road in Portadown, without bands or supporters from 8:00 am on September 27. But thousands blocked the procession, halting the first parade which had been allowed along the route in almost three decades.
