Firefighters tackle dangerous Eleventh Night bonfire in Belfast - Daily Mail

Описание: A banner (bottom right) on a bonfire in the car park of a leisure centre in East Belfast read: 'Scott Sinclair loves bananas'. Huge bonfires are being lit (left, on Albertbridge Road in Belfast) in Protestant areas across Northern Ireland to usher in the main fixture in the loyal order marching season. The towering bonfires, most built with stacks of wooden pallets, has drawn thousands of onlookers. Homes have been boarded up at a number of sites amid concerns around safety and risk to property. The racist banner was erected ahead of tonight's celebration, which sees members of the Loyalist community in Northern Ireland light bonfires to ring in the Twelfth of July - when they mark the anniversary of King William of Orange's victory over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Bonfires are often decorated with Irish flags and other symbols of Republicanism on the Emerald Isle. A black coffin adorned with the face of the late Sinn Fein deputy first minister Martin McGuinness (top right) has been attached to a bonfire off the Castlereagh Road in East Belfast.
