Belfast: Diggers move in ahead of Boyne Bridge demolition

Diggers have started work on the Boyne Bridge in central Belfast, which is due to be demolished despite protests from local residents.

The bridge, near Sandy Row, is being dismantled as part of the redevelopment of the streets around the new Grand Central Station.

The station, which provides an integrated transport hub for bus and train services, opened in September.

The current bridge was reconstructed in 1936 but protestors want to save it because William III, or King Billy, is believed to have crossed the site on his way to the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
