Alan Shea pushed for decriminalisation of homosexuality
A pioneering gay rights campaigner in the Isle of Man said he never thought he'd see the day when same-sex marriage was allowed here.
Alan Shea rose to prominence as one of the people who fought for the decriminalisation of homosexuality on the Island in the late '80s and early '90s.
The Island saw its first same-sex wedding at the weekend, while in the last week or so other couples have converted their civil partnership to marriage.
Mr Shea says the change in the law came as something of a surprise to him:
Hillberry crash death ruled to be suicide
'Progress was not consistent across all services': Manx Care publishes annual report
Court formally orders supervised recount
Police 'making enquiries' after report woman was cornered in pub toilet
