Popular film has no mention of Manx involvement
A popular summer blockbuster based on the evacuation of Allied troops from Northern France during World War Two fails to recognise the bravery of Island seamen.
Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk has been met with critical acclaim, but criticised for its historical inaccuracies and omissions.
The Isle of Man Steam Packet sent 10 ships from its fleet to aid in the evacuation, and rescued an estimated 25,000 soldiers, 1 in every 14 saved.
Alex Brindley, producer of the Packet's 175th Anniversary DVD: A Nation's Lifeline, says the Island's role shouldn't be forgotten:
Emergency services respond to incident at Douglas Port
Junction closed following collision between motorcyclist and car
Farmers' union calls for stronger legislation to tackle ongoing problem of sheep worrying
Steam train offers extra commuter service amid bus strikes
1-2% of vehicles on Island's roads untaxed
