Minister says appropriate changes are being made

This weekend's Isle of Man Food & Drink Festival will be conducted in a respectful manner following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

That's according to the Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister after it was agreed the event would go ahead on 17-18 September.

Concerns have been raised about if the event could be seen as inconsiderate ahead of Her Majesty's state funeral on Monday, 19 September.

But Clare Barber insists changes will be made to stay in keeping with current events:

The festival takes place at the Villa Marina Gardens in Douglas this Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 5pm each day.
