This picture shows the view from the Carpet factory entrance up towards Portadown Public Park. A Public Park I may add that the Protestant people of Portadown cannot go into for fear of attack by nationalist republicans gangs. This is in a town were the Protestants are in the higher percentage bracket of 65% to 35% nationalist approx.

As you can see here as well the missiles litter the road after nationalist republicans attacked members of the security forces' who were protecting the lives of children aged 6 years to 14 years. The members of Junior LOL 150 parade to the end of this wall which borders the Carpet factory. As can be seen many of the houses' are boarded up so the nationalist had to come out of their way to be offended by coming right over the hill in the distance. On the road can be seen the effects of the car burning and other items which were set on fire. Were this picture was taken is the area the Parkmount Arch goes up in time for July.
