Performance during Manx-themed parade
A Manx brass band has become the first to play at a festival in France in its 45-year history.
Rushen Silver Band was invited to play at Lorient's Interceltic Festival to celebrate the Isle of Man being a joint-honoured nation for the first time.
Cornwall is the other honoured nation, and a silver band from there will play throughout the week to commemorate both nations' mining traditions.
John Kinley is from Rushen Silver Band:
