Public buildings flying the red flag to mark Merchant Navy Day
The Manx red ensign will be a familiar sight around the Island today (Thursday).
A number of public buildings, including government offices, Peel Castle and Noble’s Hospital, will fly the red flag to mark Merchant Navy Day.
It celebrates the role of the British Merchant fleet during the two world wars and its continued work around the globe today.
It’s part of a campaign by maritime charity, the King George V Fund for Sailors.
The Island has a proud maritime heritage and locally, a version of the Ensign includes the Three Legs of Man.
