Police came under attack on Monday from youths throwing petrol bombs from inside the City Cemetery after officers moved in to make arrests.
A colour party of masked men and women dressed in paramilitary-style clothing had earlier marched into the cemetery from the Bogside.
The Saoradh march coincideded with the third anniversary of the murder of Lyra McKee at Fanad Drive in Creggan on Thursday, April 18, 2019.
The Parades Commission had imposed restrictions on the march including a prohibition on the display of symbols or banners relating to proscribed organisations after a complain from Ms McKee’s family.
The violence at the cemetery has been condemned by politiicans and church leaders.
