English sailors are said to have given the statue to the people of Nettuno in 1550, say historians.

The march began at 14:00 BST at Ormeau Park and ended at Belfast City Hall.

The soldier was photographed putting a cigarette in the statue's mouth, in the second incident against a Christian figure in weeks.
