"Everyone has a strong sense of pride for the nation"

UK student Becky Holbrook asks what it means to be Manx

A Geography student at Newcastle University has chosen the Isle of Man to form the basis of an academic project she's working on.

Becky Holbrook, who grew up in the midlands, visited the island recently to record interviews with Manx citizens about their experiences of living here.

She's also interested in thoughts about 'Manxness' and what that means, plus views on political relationships with our neighbours.

Miss Holbrook explained more about her project to Dollin Mercer:

If you're interested in helping with her research, you can contact Miss Holbrook on rebecca.holbrook@hotmail.com or 07815 720175.
