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:
Suspended sentence for man who stabbed brother in argument
26-year-old will also be subject to two-year suspended sentence supervision order
No date set for reopening of NCAS reuse centre
Date will be announced 'as soon as practical', says minister
Police urge public to check person's identification if claiming to be a police officer
Constabulary says it's not aware of an officer visiting a Manx resident to voice concerns over social media posts
2026 Manx Youth Games taking place today
