Tributes paid to Chris Barr, 'a quiet man in the shadows who did so much for this Island'
Manx Newscast
Wednesday, 18 March 2026 - 14 minutes
Tributes are being paid to a campaigner described as an 'integral part of' several of the Island's cancer charities following his death.
Chris Barr was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, making him one of only a few hundred men given the diagnosis each year.
A lawyer, he readily gave many free legal advice, and helped patients come to terms with their illness, even throughout his own battle with the disease.
Siobhán Fletcher sat down with Derek Peters and Carole Male from Mannin Cancers and Chris' husband, John Artil, to hear more about the 'quiet man who did so much for this Island'.
