Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan has returned home after attending the opening of the Scottish parliament.
The Queen performed the official opening of the fourth session in Edinburgh yesterday (Friday), on her first visit to Scotland since the SNP's landslide election win in May.
Mr Rodan, who was invited to the ceremony by the Scottish parliament's presiding officer, believes it's important to have a rapport with other speakers and presiding officers from the United Kingdom and the Crown dependencies:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
Energy security likely to be 'major issue' in election
2025 a 'busy year' for Victim Support Isle of Man but work continues
Flexible alcohol licensing pilot could take place in 2026
