Tomorrow's general election will see the start, and continuation for a further five years, of many political careers in the Isle of Man.
But Thursday is also the day two veteran members of the House of Keys officially call time on theirs.
David Cannan and Tony Brown, the outgoing chief minister, have stepped down as MHKs for Michael and Castletown respectively, after decades in position.
Mr Brown (pictured) says it's been a bit odd to not be involved in the cut and thrust of the campaign trail, after so long:
Hockey: Schedule confirmed for 2026 cup finals
Shooting: Cross beats Faragher in shoot-off
Athletics: High turnout expected for Manx Mountain Marathon
TT 2026: Rhys Stephenson targeting steady progress for debut
