New Bishop to be announced

The Isle of Man has a new Bishop.

There will a press conference to introduce the appointee and his wife on Friday.

Until then no further details are being released about the man who will take over from Graeme Knowles.

He left the Island last September to be installed as the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London.

News of the replacement has come earlier than expected.

It had been suggested it may be the summer before an announcement was made.
