Leading dissident republicans Colin Duffy, Dee Fennell and Damian McLaughlin were all pictured watching the controversial march on Remembrance Sunday.

The parade was in memory of IRA woman Patricia Black, who was killed along with Frank Ryan, on November 15, 1991, when an improvised explosive device she was carrying detonated prematurely near London.
