70th anniversary of the event
Peel is gearing up for its 70th carnival today (6 August).
Roads around the Promenade and East Quay closed at 10am - with the grand parade scheduled to start at 2pm.
It's the first carnival for two years after an enforced break because of the Covid pandemic.
Organiser Ian Baker believes the secret to a successful event is simple:
Staffing shortages continue to impact Manx breast clinic services
Key specialist unavailable for at least three weeks as Manx Care works to maintain breast services

The main Isle of Man Prison building can accommodate 143 prisoners - there are currently 160
No plans for IoM to introduce EU's artificial intelligence regulations
Government working on bespoke strategy to 'address unique needs of Island'
