The guest of honour for tonight's Isle of Man Sports Awards has praised the facilities we have here.

Ellie Simmonds OBE has ten world championship titles and five Paralympic gold medals.

Speaking to Manx Radio at the National Sports Centre in Douglas, Ellie had spent part of this morning training with some of the Island's best young swimmers at the Western Swimming Pool in Peel:
