Relay team tours north, central and west
More Manx hands have been gripping the 2018 Commonwealth Games baton, as a relay carrying it around the Isle of Man continues.
The Queen's Baton Relay is on a three day visit to the Island, the latest step on a journey to Australia, where the games will be held in April next year.
Games officials were greeted by athletes taking part in a triathlon at Mooragh Park in Ramsey this morning (3 Sept) and a number of talented sporting youngsters carried the baton on its way.
Sunday's itinerary includes visits to the Grandstand, Isle of Man Hospice and Moore's Kipper Factory in Peel.
Trevor Taubman is Isle of Man general team manager for Gold Coast 2018. He says the baton has a strong symbolic appeal:
May sentence for man who threatened to stab neighbour
Evidence sought for Area Plan inquiry
Traffic lights in operation by Palatine Health Centre
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
