Drone footage captures the size of crowd that attended Saturday's solidarity rally on the Garvaghy Road.

Thousands of people showed their support for residents as the Drumcree dispute continued in Portadown.

They heard from a number of speakers on the day, including first minister Michelle O'Neill and residents' spokesperson Breandán Mac Cionnaith.
