"Our secret recipe has a double shot of Rum. Drop of cream and dash of bitters is optional".

On July 12, a video circled on social media showed a bin being thrown at an Orange order parade as it passes through the Holyland area. A band playing music is seen passing through Agincourt Avenue.

At that point, a person comes out of a house on the street and throws a small bin at the band members before returning back into the house. A man then appears to lift a wheelie bin and throw it at the front window of the building that the first man had run into.

A PSNI statement on Friday evening said: "A 29-year-old man attended voluntarily for interview following an incident at the Agincourt Avenue area of South Belfast on Tuesday 12th July.

"He was issued with a Community resolution notice for criminal damage."
