trapped in the small car ended up off the road. They were channelling

Locals say accidents on that road or error. This particular accident

happened at this crossroads and was an accident there are just a short

:01:21.:01:26.

time ago. But no, it would not be notorious for bad accident.

:01:27.:01:30.

I am deeply perturbed at the loss of two young lives and, in particular,

:01:31.:01:37.

to young people. My heart goes out to the families. The two men had

:01:38.:01:41.

been serving in the 2nd Battalion based in Lisburn.

:01:42.:01:43.

It is not known where in England from.

:01:44.:01:50.

Thousands of people braved the adverse weather to take part

:01:51.:01:53.

The parade - which is in its 24th year - is said to be the biggest of

:01:54.:01:58.

Floats, performers and revellers made

:01:59.:02:01.

Amid the glitz and glitter there was a simple clear message which

:02:02.:02:05.

Now with news of gold medal success for two of our boxers

:02:06.:02:13.

at the Commonwealth Games, it's over to Stephen Watson in Glasgow.

:02:14.:02:16.

It?s a double gold for Northern Ireland.

:02:17.:02:19.

Boxers Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan won their finals

:02:20.:02:22.

in the Hydro arena - Michaela Walsh and Joe Fitzpatrick

:02:23.:02:24.

Paddy Barnes is now the first fighter from

:02:25.:02:31.

Northern Ireland to celebrate two boxing gold medals at the games.

:02:32.:02:35.

And he joins Dame Mary Peters, Mike Bull and David Calvert as the only

:02:36.:02:39.

On his way to the ring, he exuded confidence. Inside the ropes, used

:02:40.:02:59.

class. He wanted to win a second Commonwealth title in style and he

:03:00.:03:02.

did just that with a unanimous points decision. It put his name

:03:03.:03:09.

into the record books. I knew going in there, it would be

:03:10.:03:16.

very close. The way he fights, he is a winner. I'm just glad I came

:03:17.:03:26.

through it. Nobody in history has ever defended, I want to do it.

:03:27.:03:28.

That's even better. It wasn't long before the anthem was

:03:29.:03:44.

playing again. A battered and bruised Michael shrugged off a cat

picked up on his last fight. bruised Michael shrugged off a cat

cat. It was a brilliant victory. It was great. I predicted this. It's

:04:03.:04:09.

not a surprise to me. I knew I was going to do it. Now I have done it.

:04:10.:04:16.

It's a packed stadium. I think this is a better stadium than the Olympic

Stadium. It was phenomenal. A gold medal for the gutsy Belfast

boxer but there are only tears for Walsh. It was the biggest fight of

:04:29.:04:33.

her short career and she lost to the golden girl of English boxing,

:04:34.:04:42.

Nicola Adams. It was very close. I felt I deserved to win the fight.

:04:43.:04:47.

Congratulations to Nicola. She is an Olympic champion. Now she's got the

:04:48.:04:53.

gold in the Commonwealth to go with it but I do feel a bit cheated. !

:04:54.:04:59.

When the emotion passes, Walsh will reflect on a super silver medal, as

:05:00.:05:03.

will Joe Fitzpatrick who battled bravely but also lost in his final.

:05:04.:05:11.

A proud day for Northern Ireland boxing. I will be back with more
