127th edition of festival begins today
A new trophy will be on offer at The Guild this year.
The 127th Manx Music, Speech and Dance Festival has got underway at the Villa Marina this morning.
There are a number of changes for this year, including the introduction of stand-up comedy and newsreading classes.
Vice-chairman Anne Clarke explains how the new silverware pays tribute to a well-known figure:
Manx Care asks visitors to wear face masks
It's said to help stop the spread of 'severe' respiratory viruses
Thousands can benefit from a satellite visa office, says ex-Douglas councillor
