Who are Apprentice Boys of Derry who march in Glasgow this week?
The Apprentice Boys of Derry originates, and is based in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It has eight 'parent clubs' that have 'branch clubs' in Scotland, with several in Glasgow, England, the Republic of Ireland and Canada. It is a Protestant, loyalist organisation with an estimated 10,000 members worldwide. Its stated aim is to commemorate the siege of Derry in December 1688 when 13 apprentice boys closed the city gates to the troops of King James II. READ NEXT:9 loyalist parades in Glasgow on Saturday - all the roads affected The siege lasted until the following July, with thousands dying from starvation. Until today, the organisation marks both the 'shutting of the gates', sparking the beginning of the siege where the loyalist 'no surrender' slogan originates, and the 'Relief of Derry' when the siege ended. The organisation is separate from the Orange Order but some people are members of both. ABOD members wear crimson coloured collarettes. The organisation says it is a 'Christian, historical and cultural organisation, committed to maintaining the spirit of courage and liberty displayed by the Defenders of Londonderry in 1688-1689.'

The protest centred around St Alphonsus Church in London Road, where in 2018 the priest Canon Tom White was spat on by a man following an Orange Order parade. Call it Out, campaigners against anti-Irish racism and anti-Catholic bigotry said the march was anti- Catholic and was intended to intimidate Catholics. Several of the Glasgow branches are holding marches this Saturday in the city.
