Public invited to join welcome celebrations
The public is invited to officially welcome Ramsey's new £2.2 million pound lifeboat tomorrow (2 July).
After a naming ceremony the Ann and James Ritchie 2 will be launched at around midday for a short display.
Subject to the weather, and no call outs, people will then be able to go onboard with a 'lifeboat afternoon' continuing until 5pm.
Thirty volunteers support the lifeboat in the town.
Operations Manager Kevin Christian says the new boat, which arrived earlier this year, is much more advanced:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
