Residents will be able to view it at the House of Mannan today 

A scroll bearing the signatures of over 900 representatives from the RNLI as well as the Duke of Kent has made its way to the Isle of Man.

Members of the public will be able to see the scroll today at the House of Manannan from 9.30am to 4.30pm before it makes its way to London to be signed by King Charles.
