The local authority has events planned during the year to celebrate
Douglas Council will be installing RNLI flags along the promenade as part of its 200th anniversary.
They will be provided by the charity at no cost to the local authority and will alternate with the Manx versions.
The local authority says it replaces the flags every two years for £2,000 and is built into the council's work schedule.
Councillor Falk Horning says events have also been planned to commemorate the lifesaving charity's efforts throughout the years:
Petition launched calling for renewal Peel Sailing Club's lease
Cruise ship arrival sets new record
Government and hospitality representatives hold 'positive talks'
Community service for serial shoplifter
DESC seeking planning permission for mobile classroom at QEII
Planet Earth model seen by more than 13,000 people
