Two people have been arrested and a police officer injured during a republican march in Glasgow.
Hundreds of people took part in the procession commemorating Bloody Sunday through the city on Saturday, with a counter-protest also taking place.
The march to remember those who lost their lives was organised by the West of Scotland Band Alliance and set off at 11am.
There was a large police presence to prevent disturbances and the procession was paused on several occasions.
One officer suffered minor injuries as a result of missiles being thrown and two people were arrested for "minor disorder offences".
Chief Superintendent Mark Hargreaves said: "We can confirm that the procession concluded at its destination shortly after 1pm without significant incident.
"Officers dealt with minor disorder, including missiles being thrown, which resulted in minor injury to a police officer.
"The procession was stopped a number of times as a result of protest activity to mitigate any further incidents, ensure the safety of all persons involved, and the wider community.
"Two people have been arrested for minor disorder offences."
Bloody Sunday saw British soldiers shoot 28 unarmed civilians during a protest march against internment in Derry, Northern Ireland, on January 30 1972, resulting in 14 people dying.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
