The Lagan Scullers’ Head of the River, set for Saturday, has been cancelled. The forecast today stated that severe weather, with a yellow wind warning, could hit Belfast at noon on Saturday. This would have forced the cancellation of at least two of the three head races in the rowing event, so the organisers decided not to go ahead.
