101 year old receives posthumous honour
Inducting a war veteran into the Manx Patriots Roll of Honour is the Isle of Man’s way of saying ‘Thank You’.
That’s the opinion of Douglas Central MHK Ann Corlett who nominated Hector Duff OBE for the accolade.
The former Onchan resident, who had served in the Second World War, died last year aged 101.
He was admired for his work on war memorial preservation as well as the hours he spent educating children on the realities of war.
Mrs Corlett says it is a fitting tribute:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
