A UVF linked group in east Belfast has agreed a flags protocol which they say will end the flying of illegal paramilitary flags. The Irish News reports that the East Belfast Community Initiative has said that only legal flags will be flown with a limit placed on how long they will be displayed.

The group says the only UVF flags on display will be historical ones commemorating its role in the first world war.
