Show returns at Knockaloe after 2020 cancellation
Only lockdown would have stopped this year's Royal Manx Agricultural Show taking place.
That's from the show's secretary as proceedings got underway at Knockaloe Farm in Patrick earlier this morning.
The two-day event returns after missing 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Carol Kennaugh says there were concerns over whether this year's show would be able to go ahead:
Three-week road closure for gas main works
Stretch of Ballakermeen Drive shut until 28 September
Public expectations for high street services 'a contradiction'
Political commentator says locals expect services to be efficient but for nothing to change
Info Commissioner partially upholds terminal complaint
