National service in Douglas on Friday morning
A national service of reflection will take place at the start of the four-day bank holiday weekend.
The gathering is taking place at St George's Church in Douglas, starting at 11am on Friday, to remember those who were lost to Covid-19.
Another focus will be on everyone who has been affected in any way by the pandemic.
Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly hopes people have fun over the weekend, but says it's important to think about what we have all been through this year:
Hillberry crash death ruled to be suicide
'Progress was not consistent across all services': Manx Care publishes annual report
Court formally orders supervised recount
Police 'making enquiries' after report woman was cornered in pub toilet
