The Island's representative at the Gallipoli centenary service in London says the event was a fitting tribute to those who suffered and died in the campaign.
Policy and Reform minister John Shimmin was among 700 guests from around the world at the Cenotaph memorial in London at the weekend - in the presence of the Queen.
Saturday's service was held 100 years to the day after Allied troops attempted an assault on the Turkish peninsula.
The eight month conflict - one of the war's bloodiest - cost more than 130,000 Allied and Turkish lives, among them a contingent of Manxmen.
Mr Shimmin says he felt proud and privileged to be at the London memorial:
