 Thousands of people have taken part    
 in a series of republican marches and  
 parades to mark the anniversary of the 
 1916 Easter uprising.                  
                                        
 In Belfast and elsewhere, the police   
 and army kept a close eye on the       
 processions but there was no violence  
 at any of the events.                  
                                        
 The only incident was the discovery of 
 a bomb in Londonderry near the cemetery
 where a ceremony was held. It was      
 diffused safely.                       
                                        
 Tomorrow, thousands of Protestants will
 bj holding their parades.
