A County Londonderry Remembrance Day parade has been postponed after police received information that a device may have been left close to the scene.
A security operation is underway in the South Londonderry village of Bellaghy.
A spokesman for the PSNI said officers had consulted fully with the organisers of the event.
Secretary of the Royal British Legion in the area, Jim Wilson, said he could not understand why anyone would want to disrupt the ceremony.
"When you plan something like this you want to see it going ahead and being completed and to remember what idea is behind it.
"Past conflict and every conflict involves all of the community and I think it's a big disappointment."
