Beacon lit in Douglas to celebrate Queen's platinum jubilee

Short ceremony in the Island capital marked the occasion

A special beacon has been lit in Douglas to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

A short ceremony took place last night (2 June) attended by Douglas Borough Council and invited guests.

The beacon was lit at the St Ninian's Church tower - one of the highest points of the city.

Council Leader, Claire Wells, has described it as 'a privilege to be able to contribute to a unique occasion honouring the Queen, Lord of Man's accession to the throne'.
