The loyalist protest against Catholic school children and their parents in Belfast is to be called off tomorrow as a mark of respect of those killed in the attacks in the US.
Loyalist residents in the flashpoint Glenbryn area of the city held a prayer service and a minute's silence this morning in memory of the victims of the attacks.
Mrs Anne Bill, a spokeswoman for the Concerned Residents of Upper Ardoyne, said suspending the protest was a mark of respect. Mrs Bill said the residents would reassess the protest next week.
Loyalist protesters have in recent days kept a silent protest as the children travelled to school but have sounded whistles and horns as their parents returned to the nationalist Ardoyne area.
The scenes contrasted with the violence that marked the first three days of the Holy Cross dispute during which a pipe bomb was thrown injuring police officers.
Behind-the-scenes efforts involving the British government and mediators have been continuing to try and end the dispute.
The British government and the Northern Ireland Executive have proposed a community forum to tackle a range of problems affecting the loyalist and nationalist communities in Glenbryn and Ardoyne.
The suspension of the protest tomorrow coincides with the Government's decision to hold a national day of mourning for the victims of the US attacks.
Northern Ireland Assembly members will also gather at Stormont today to debate the New York and Washington attacks.
