Raina Chatel first woman to win award
A Douglas councillor who served for over three decades has been given an Honorary Freedom of the Borough - the first woman ever to be conferred with the title.
Raina Chatel joined the Council in 1985, and worked alongside her husband George for many years.
He was also made a Freeman in 2007.
The award puts Mrs. Chatel in the same ranks as Sir Winston Churchill, Norman Wisdom and just 31 others who've received the accolade since 1924.
She says it was a special day
