Mr Quayle has been involved in local politics since 1973
After nearly 50 years of service to local politics in the north of the Island, John Quayle has decided to step down.
Mr Quayle has been involved with Jurby Commissioners since 1973, as well as taking on roles with neighbouring authorities in Andreas and Ballaugh.
To celebrate his retirement, a special event was held at Jurby Parish Hall last week, with government ministers, commissioners, and friends.
Mr Quayle offered some words of advice to his successors:

Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
Improving Island's whistleblowing policies like 'turning an oil tanker', says PSC
