Eleventh night bonfires have been lit across Northern Ireland, including at a controversial site in south Belfast. The fires are lit every year as part of celebrations in some unionist areas, ahead of the Orange Order's 12 July parades on Saturday.

A model of refugees in a boat, placed on a bonfire in a pro-British town near Belfast, was set alight on Thursday night, weeks after migrants' homes were attacked nearby.

Authorities in Northern Ireland are investigating a bonfire that featured effigies of migrants in a boat and a banner reading “stop the boats’’ to determine whether it was a hate incident.
