Protestant fraternity Apprentice Boys ‘unreservedly apologise' after pictures of members urinating near homes circulate online
An image of what appears to be bandsmen urinating relieving themselves along the Culmore Road area of the city has been widely circulated on social media.
'We have had messages from associations across the country saying how disgusted they were about this," Mr Hoey told BBC Radio Foyle's North West Today programme as he vowed to identify those involved.
"The governor made it clear last week that if you come to Londonderry, you respect Londonderry and you respect the city.
"We can only unreservedly apologise to the people of Culmore Road – they should not have had to see that.'
More than 10,000 participants and over 100 bands took part on the largest loyal order parade and marks the anniversary of the ending of the siege of the city during the Williamite wars in 1689.
Stressing that the city is 'at the heart of our association', Mr Hoey said that actions of some members 'disrespected the city' and under minded the purpose of the day.
"What was an otherwise successful day, let's say, as it was a double-decker bus, about 40 or 50 people have ruined our image and created a social media storm,' he continued.
"It simply shouldn't have happened, and it has undermined all the good work that we have done over the past six months and it is unacceptable.
"We are absolutely across every detail of the parade, and we have a new team this year working hard to get things more right moving forward.'
SDLP MLA, Mark H Durkan, expressed concerns about a pattern behaviour in recent years.
'Every year Derry opens its doors for the Apprentice Boys' march and other cultural events that are important to the unionist community," he told BBC News NI.
"While the vast majority of people take part in good faith and with positive intent, we have seen a small minority creating issues over the past few years.
"These events have for a long time stood as hallmark of tolerance and respect in the north, but it must be reciprocated."
Meanwhile Sinn Féin MLA, Pádraig Delargy, took to social media to demand that organisers take responsibility.
'Once again, visiting loyalist bands have shown a disgusting lack of respect for the people of Derry,' he wrote.

Nationalist bonfire builders urged to remove hateful messages from pyres
A CATHOLIC BISHOP and former SDLP leader have called for nationalist bonfire builders in Derry to stay away from burning flags or placing offensive symbols on pyres that are due to be lit this evening. The organisers of nationalist bonfires in Derry also faced calls to remove the names of individuals that were written on materials set to be burnt, including the name of former PSNI officer John Caldwell who suffered an attempted murder. Bonfires have been built in several nationalist areas of Northern Ireland this month and are due to be set alight tonight. Bonfires are not as significant an occurrence in nationalist areas as they are in unionist areas for the 12th of July, but are sometimes built in August for the Feast of the Assumption and to mark the anniversary of the introduction of internments without trial in August of 1971. A pyre built in Creggan included a placard with several names, including John Caldwell, a police officer who was shot in 2023 while off duty and suffered serious injuries, and Kyle Bonnes, who was a 15-year-old teenage boy who died in a drowning incident in 2010. SDLP MLA Mark Durkan, the nationalist party's former leader, has urged bonfire builders in the Bogside and Creggan areas to remove offensive items from the pyres before they are set alight this evening. 'The appearance of a large number of flags on the Bogside and Creggan bonfires ahead of them being lit on Friday evening is really disappointing. We have to call this out for what it is, it's wrong when flags and emblems are burnt on bonfires in July and it's wrong in August too,' Durkan said. Advertisement In a statement, he said that he visited the Bogside bonfire site a couple of weeks ago and engaged with some of the young people involved in its construction. 'It was clear that they took enormous pride in their involvement and I wish we could harness the effort and application that they have put into this into something more positive,' Durkan said. 'I attempted to explain to them the futility of burning flags and emblems and the hurt that can cause,' he said. 'I again appeal for all of these flags and symbols to be removed from both bonfires. Far from being a celebration of culture, these bonfires are turning into nothing more than an opportunity to poke the other community in the eye. 'That gets us absolutely nowhere and leaves us trapped in a cycle that is holding this place and our young people back.' Catholic Bishop of Derry Dónal McKeown has made a similar appeal to move away from using bonfires as tools of hatred. In an interview on BBC Radio , he said that the bonfires are being used to 'exploit fear and anger'. He said he recognises that many young people experience 'a lot of pain and distress' in their lives and that the 'question is how do we deal with that', but added that a bonfire that would 'encourage anger' is not the answer. The bishop said that 'nothing beautiful grows in an angry head' and that 'those who are helping young people to be angry are not doing them any favours'.

Ex-SDLP leader Colum Eastwood says he rejected a knighthood ... using 'strong language'
FORMER SDLP LEADER and possible Irish presidential candidate Colum Eastwood said he rejected an offer for a knighthood from Westminster using 'strong language'. Speaking on BBC NI's Red Lines podcast with Mark Carruthers, the former Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader said a politician in Westminster extended the honour to him. 'I looked at the person and used language that I can't use in this podcast and said: 'Do you know who it is you're talking to?' 'People in the political establishment in London don't really understand the North, ' he said. The Foyle MP, who resigned as SDLP party leader last October, said the politician then asked him he if he would like to join the privy council, but he declined that offer too. The privy council is the formal advisory body to the monarch, privy counsellors advise the King on exercising the Royal Prerogative, which is the executive power of the monarch to make decisions such as declaring war. 'I said: 'I tell you what, the Budget's coming up, throw in a few quid for Derry from that Towns Fund and that'll do alright,' Eastwood said. 'So we got £20m for Derry as part of that conversation.' He described Westminster as 'bonkers' for 'going around offering people gongs to thank them or buy them in'. Advertisement 'As someone who doesn't want Westminster to even be running Northern Ireland I have absolutely no interest in any kind of gongs from any British government, I was happier with £20m for Derry.' The SDLP is a social democratic and Irish nationalist party in Northern Ireland. Their main aim is to join the North and South of Ireland using non-violent means and create a new Ireland. The party was formed in 1970, and led by John Hume from 1979 to 2001. It has previously been reported by the BBC that Eastwood is considering a bid for Áras an Uachtaráin . When asked by Carruthers about a potential candidacy, Eastwood said: 'The most important thing for me is to have a conversation about Irish unity as part of that presidential election'. Eastwood said a 'number of people from different political parties' have spoken to him about running in the election, but he has not yet made a decision on the matter. The Journal previously reported that Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he is not aware of any engagement with Eastwood over becoming the party's candidate for the Irish presidency. When Carruthers put this to him, Eastwood said: 'He should be surprised because we hadn't talked about it'. He said that although he had spoken to 'credible' people within different political parties in the Republic, he had not spoken to Fianna Fáil leadership at the time. The Foyle MP believes there will be a united Ireland 'a lot sooner than people think', and the Irish presidency would be useful in reaching this end.

Former SDLP leader Colum Eastwood confirms he's in a relationship with Labour MP
The MP for Foyle said that following the breakup of his marriage, both he and his ex-wife are happy with new partners. "We're very happy and we're getting on well. It's fun and it's interesting,' he told the BBC's Red Lines podcast. "Louise is great and people here will know Louise from her time in Northern Ireland. "She's a feisty, strong, tough MP for Sheffield but also somebody who is prepared to say what needs to be said in difficult times even when it costs you your political career. Ms Haigh was also the Secretary for Transport, though she stood down from her position in November 2024. It came after it emerged she pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation in 2014, after reporting that her phone had been stolen the previous year. In the BBC podcast, it was also revealed that the MP for Foyle had been offered a knighthood by a Westminster politician but turned it down. 'I always say that the political establishment in London don't really understand the north,' he said 'Not that long ago, when the Tories were in power, I was offered a knighthood. "I looked at the person and used language that I can't use in this podcast and said: 'Do you know who it is you're talking to'?' "And [they said] 'well, what about the privy council, would you like to go on the privy council'? "I said, 'I tell you what, the Budget's coming up, throw in a few quid for Derry from that Towns Fund and that'll do alright'. So we got £20m for Derry as part of that conversation. 'I think a lot of people there would love that, but not for me. In order to thank people [in Westminster] or buy them in, they give them all these things. 'As someone who doesn't even want Westminster to even be running Northern Ireland I have no interest in any kind of bonds from any British government. I was happy with the £20m for Derry.' Since stepping down as leader of the SDLP, the MP has been speaking of the dysfunction at Stormont, revealing he found it easier to implement change when Stormont is collapsed. 'I find it easier to get things done for people in Derry when Stormont's collapsed,' he said. "I think people feel Stormont isn't working and there's a big problem with that because, at some point, the next time it collapses, people will say, 'let's just leave it down', and I don't think that would be good either. "People deserve government, I think, that delivers for them and I'm not sure too many people would agree that they have been delivering." Mr Eastwood also spoke in the interview of his early political career, having joined the SDLP when he was 15, handing out leaflets for the 'yes' campaign for the Good Friday Agreement alongside the late John and Pat Hume. He had joined off the back of the peace agreement being signed. 'The civil rights movement as a kind of a thing that had happened before I was born,' he added. 'It was always strong as an influence on us growing up. 'There was a friend of the family, who was taught by my father, who was a member of the SDLP. 'He came into the house and I would have argued with him about different things maybe that the SDLP were doing. 'He came to the door at the Good Friday Agreement campaign, the SDLP were the only party to knock doors for the yes campaign. 'I said 'my parents aren't in' and he said 'well, it's you I am looking for'. I looked down the street and there was John and Pat Hume walking down my street. 'Hume was ever present in Derry. And we had a caravan in Greencastle where he would spend time, so we would always see John about. '[He was] very encouraging, he was encouraging me not to knock doors and go study for my GCSEs. Pat Hume banned me from knocking doors during one particular campaign because I had exams. 'But I just stayed out of her way and did it anyway.' Since stepping down as SDLP leader, the nationalist politician said he is still considering whether to put himself forward for this year's Irish presidential election. 'A number of people from a number of political parties in the south have talked to me about that,' he said. 'Truthfully, I am concerned that we have a discussion as part of that presidential election that doesn't ignore the north. 'The most important thing for me is, will there be a conversation during this election campaign about the future of Ireland to bring the two peoples of this country together.'
