The PSNI has urged Orangemen, their supporters and nationalist protesters to ensure that this afternoon's Whiterock parade in west Belfast passes off peacefully.
The prospects of what previously was one of the most incendiary parades of the marching season concluding successfully were increased with the Orange Order and the opposing Springfield Residents' Action Group pledging to "reluctantly" observe restrictions laid down by the Parades Commission.
A small group of 50 Orangemen, marching behind one band, will be allowed to parade through the gates at Workman Avenue from the loyalist Shankill area on to the nationalist Springfield Road, while the remainder of the parade will pass through the old Mackies industrial site before making its return journey back to the Shankill.
A limited number of nationalists will be permitted to stage a protest while the Orangemen are parading on the Springfield Road.
The Orange Order said that it would "behave with dignity and decorum as normal and we would ask everyone who attends the parade to follow suit".
Springfield residents failed in a High Court judicial review on Thursday to extend the nature of today's nationalist protest.
However, spokesman Seán Paul O'Hare said that the permitted protest would be both peaceful and dignified, and within the limits set by the Parades Commission.
Mr O'Hare appealed for calm from all sides, adding: "The only way this issue can be resolved is through dialogue."
The PSNI said that security today would take into consideration the views and wishes of the local community and relevant groups.
"The event will be policed in an appropriate, proportionate and human rights-centred way. It is the role of the police service to uphold the law. We will police the Parades Commission determination as laid down," a spokesman said.
