The footage appears to show a woman dancing while draped in a UVF flag and another woman holding an inflatable toy gun

The Ulster Unionist Party has defended an election candidate being in attendance at a social event where a song with UVF-related lyrics was performed.

Both are involved in running Listening Ear, a charity in Rathcoole which provides support on issues including housing and mental health. In a statement a party spokesman said: "The Ulster Unionist Party position on paramilitarism has been very clear. Indeed Doug Beattie has been very vocal against all forms of paramilitarism, criminality, organised crime and its glorification.

She claimed she has been subjected to a "campaign of harassment against me by those who wish to see Listening Ear fail".
