Fencer believed to be only Manxman inducted
Island fencer Henry Da Silva has spoken of his pride at being invited to join the Armagnac Musketeers in France.
The group contains around 40,000 members from all walks of life, from politicians and statesman, to sports stars and contemporary arts figures.
Mr Da Silva believes it was a French link to his fencing career that led to him being nominated for entry into the group.
He says he believes he's the only Manx person ever to be inducted:
