Two Island residents will today (Friday) leave the Island for a very special pilgrimage.
Douglas man James Palmer (pictured) and Mark Watson from Port Erin are travelling to the Roman Catholic shrine of Lourdes for the 150th anniversary of the reported appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St Bernadette.
James says the three day visit will mean so much:
Gas supplier provides reassurance amid ongoing global market volatility
Isle of Man Energy expects any price rise in June to be 'modest'
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
