The widow of Kevin McDaid has appealed for an Orange parade close to the spot where her husband died not to be used as an excuse for further sectarianism or division.
The contentious Somme remembrance parade takes place in Coleraine on Wednesday.
Amid growing tensions the local Orange Killowen Lodge has voluntarily rerouted the parade away from the spot where Kevin McDaid was murdered last month and another Catholic, Damian Fleming, critically injured.
Music will be restricted voluntarily and supporters will not be allowed into the contentious area. No alcohol will be allowed.
Union flags erected close to the murder spot have also been removed.
Mr McDaid was killed by a loyalist mob which invaded the largely Catholic area just after Rangers beat Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title.
Ten people have so far been charged in connection with the death, six with murder.
In a statement issued through her solicitors, Evelyn McDaid asked that the site where her husband died should not be disrespected or desecrated by anyone, nor used as a monument to, or flashpoint for, sectarianism.
In a call to both sides of the community the mother of four said: "We express the sincerely-held hope that this forthcoming parade passes off peacefully and without incident.
"We are a family drawn from the Protestant and Catholic communities. We have been raised to respect all traditions within our community and would appeal for dignity and calm at this difficult time."
Mrs McDaid added: "We do not desire that any protest should be carried out in our family's name. We made this statement in order to appeal for calm given recent tensions in the area.
"Kevin's murder should not be allowed, or be used as an excuse, to breed further sectarianism or division within our community."
