Having Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, opening next month's Commonwealth Youth Games will add enormously to the prestige of the event.
That's the belief of organising committee chairman Geoff Karran.
Prince Edward is the vice patron of the games and Mr Karran is delighted he is coming to the Isle of Man for the start of the event:
Manx Care's 'Home First approach' sees high demand
Healthcare body publishes its annual report
Former church could be converted... back to church
It was added to the Protected Buildings Register in 1984
Manx Concert Brass heads west
Free concert in Peel Cathedral from 7:30pm
Isle of Man set for Remembrance Sunday
Services will take place around the Island
