But King Charles will be 'very good' one local tells Manx Radio
Surprise at how much the death of Queen Elizabeth II has affected them and a sense that King Charles III will make a very good monarch.
Those are some of the feelings Island residents have shared with Manx Radio ahead of the Queen's funeral today (19 September).
The late monarch visited the Island several times during her reign - including twice to preside over the annual Tynwald Day ceremony.
These women from the Island told us how they felt about the change of monarch:
Pub's inclusive toilet signs vandalised
