A parade by army veterans at Belfast City Hall and a Republican

counter parade have passed off without incident.

They came in their hundreds to City Hall - veterans in protest at

demonstrating against investigations into yeah troubles related killings

by soldiers. Many here have served during the height of the Trouble.

I think it is important to be here today. There is a perception within

the veterans' community that all of these enquiries are being focused on

ex-servicemen. There has to be equality and fairness for everyone.

Across the road, a Republican counterprotest was halted in its

tracks by police in line with the Parades Commission determination.

Among the protesters were high-profile Republicans, including

Colin Duffy, seen here on the right. We have a right to walk. They have a

right to protest. Because we fought for their right to protest! We

fought for their freedom of speech. Separate from the parade were

families of 11 people killed by the army in Bala Murphy in 1971.

The day has been an emotional day. There has been a peaceful protest

across the road which made a point. Our loved ones were murdered 46

years ago. We believe that those who break the

law should face the law, be they soldiers, policemen, members of the

public, or be they politicians. If you break the law, you face the law.

That is our message. But what we feel is a disproportionate focus on

killings carried out by the military during the Troubles than there is a

disproportionate focus on killings carried out by the military during

the Troubles down barriers against the terrorists.

Wide despite some concerns, the rally and counterprotest passed off

peacefully. Over 1,000 police officers

are taking legal action against the Chief Constable

over holiday pay. The officers claim they're owed

money going back almost 20 years. The action, if successful,

could cost the service this case has revealed today by the

BBC is about working overtime, like many of these offices here and join,

during an outbreak of trouble in 2010. It follows a landmark ruling

known as Bear Scotland when judges decided that employees regularly

required to work extra hours should receive more holiday pay.

People will say that we are getting well paid for it. But you cannot buy

back time, and that is one thing when you get longer into duty you

realise. But in those days you had to do it, it was a requirement to do

it to keep Northern Ireland literally in some sort of peace.

By the claims are retrospective. Lawyers believe they could stretch

back to 1998. Work and pay regulations were introduced into the

UK. The Deputy Chief Constable has issued a statement saying the case

has come at a time when she has to manage to guess resources. Is this

the potential amount of money involved would have a serious impact

on policing here in Northern Ireland. He also said he understood

why PSNI officers are trying to find out what their overtime entitlements

are. The case will be heard at the High Court after Easter. In England

and Wales, the local police forces and Police Federation and there have

already settled the issue. More than 100 relatives

of passengers who were on board the Titanic gathered in Belfast

today to mark the 105th anniversary It was organised by the

great grandson of the man who was at the helm of the liner

when it struck the iceberg. Relatives of passengers on board the

Titanic brought together by Simon Medhurst. He collected Titanic

memorabilia for years, but it was only when he met his birth father in

2012 that he discovered he was the great-grandson of one of the

quartermasters of ship. It was a complete turnaround in my

life, from collecting to suddenly being somebody who was connected

with Titanic. He was one of six quartermasters on the Titanic and at

the helm when it hit the iceberg. His duty was from 10-12 and it was

11:40 when it hit the iceberg. He was told to get into lifeboat six.

More than 100 years on from the sinking of the Titanic, new pieces

of the story, like this personage was actually on board the ship, are

still coming together. I've got my great-grandmother's

purse, which she had for years before that and took on the Titanic.

My grandmother handed down to me she died. There was a sapphire and

diamond necklace which my great grandfather gave to my

great-grandmother on board the Titanic with the same colours as the

one in the movie. After digging into their family

history, many people here have found new relative.

Every time I meet somebody knew, I find out something new. I have a

relative here that I have never met before!

I found my third cousin here, and she is here is!

A commemoration service will be held tomorrow at Belfast City Hall.

Memories bringing people together. Some of the works of a famous

Italian painter, many with a biblical theme,

are on display at the Caravaggio, who died in 1610,

was seen as unconventional inside Our Dublin Correspondent,

Shane Harrison, went to see the exhibition which has been

attracting a lot of visitors. This is what they'll see - four

paintings by Caravaggio himself, including the Taking of Christ, the

whereabouts of which were unknown for 200 years and only rediscovered

in 1990 in a residence in Dublin. Caravaggio was very different from

other artists of the time in the way he used light and painted ordinary

people, as opposed to idealised versions.

He broke all the rules instead of careful drawing and academic

training, he was literally working from the model. He was painting

straight on the canvas. And particularly using dramatic effects

of light and dark in order to make his paintings more dramatic.

The exhibition includes the work of 30 other artists influenced by

Caravaggio, including gentle ski's painting of the holy family's rest

on the flight into Egypt. Other artists featured follow Caravaggio's

lead in painting tavern scenes. Nowadays he sometimes seen as a gay

icon who lived even by the standards of artists and unconventional life -

including having a Pope give him the death sentence for murder.

Caravaggio, he is a three-dimensional character. We have

peace records and arrests for brawling and attacking other

artists. Famously, the jewel where he actually kill someone and has to

flee Rome in 1606. So he's a very lively personality. It certainly

comes over in his portraits. The exhibition as openers or maybe

14. -- the exhibition is open until May 14.

Good evening. It wasn't such a great start to Good Friday, but the rain

has been claiming away and it's better evening. Some bright spells

around. Still a scattering of showers but we will find those

easing back towards the north through the night. Many inland areas

will end up dry fairly clear as well. Also called. -- also very

cold. In the countryside, it is likely to be freezing. With ground

frost come tomorrow morning. Bright and breezy tomorrow with a few

showers. Initially towards the north, showers will start to drift

inland through the course of the morning. As they think southwards in

the afternoon, they're breaking up and eventually fizzle away. We get

some sunshine coming in between the showers, but temperatures of

10-11Celsius and feeling cool in the breeze. Through tomorrow night,

increasing cloud bringing wetter weather. That's likely to linger at

least until the first part of Easter Sunday. A damp dart. It would peel

shipwrights and from the -- it should brighten from the start. As

we start the new week, Easter Monday and Tuesday are not looking too bad.

Dry with chilly spells but a chilly start in the morning.
