Island's capital one of eight new cities marking Platinum Jubilee
The leader of Douglas Council says the new city status could help 'rejuvenate' and 'revive' the Island's capital.
Douglas is one of eight new cities created to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
For the first time local authorities in crown dependencies and overseas territories, were invited to compete.
An application was also submitted for Peel.
Douglas Council Leader Clare Wells says it feels 'surreal' and she hopes it will help boost the local economy:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
