Lloyd-Webber endorsement is reminder of cultural significance
Celebrity endorsements are all well and good, according to a Manx heritage enthusiast - but they aren't going to save our culture.
Charles Guard has been responding to a glowing review of the Island's historic buildings from British theatre legend Andrew Lloyd-Webber last week.
The impresario recently told BBC Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright about a flying visit to the Isle of Man during TT, which included a tour of the Gaiety Theatre and Castle Mona Hotel.
But could multi-millionaire Lord Lloyd-Webber be convinced to sink some of his fortune into preserving the ageing structures?
Mr Guard says we ought to appreciate our own attractions a little more first:

Almost 3,000 take part in Pilates world record attempt at Knockaloe
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
