Police are at the scene of an ongoing security alert in north Belfast.

Entrances to Cave Hill Country Park and Belfast Castle on the Antrim Road have been closed.

The public have been asked to avoid the area at this time.

Residents have heard a number of what are believed to have been controlled explosions.

Nearby some tourists were disappointed to be unable to visit the castle.

Doug Hayward, from Fort Worth, Texas, had travelled to Belfast Castle with his wife on Wednesday morning after their flight to Edinburgh was cancelled.

“We got stuck at the airport this morning so we came back to Belfast for the day to look around,” he told BBC News NI.

“We’d thought we would come to the castle but it’s closed so I guess we’ll go back to the city centre.”
