Margaret Witherington visiting from Australia
An Australian visitor with Manx roots is looking forward to today's Tynwald Day celebrations.
Margaret Witherington lives in Brisbane but was born at the old Jane Crookall Maternity Home, on Demesne Road, and grew up in Douglas.
She moved away several years ago but has always stayed connected to her homeland as a member of the Queensland Manx Society.
On her first trip back in more than a decade Margaret told Manx Radio, while she sees a lot has changed, the essence of the Island is the same:
RPU will be 'out in force' to stop drink and drug drivers
Ramsey Commissioners to spend more than £8k on deckchairs and storage unit
How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Police appeal to parents after party of up to 50 young people 'becomes an issue'
