The newest member of the House of Keys has been sworn-in, at a ceremony steeped in tradition.
Chris Robertshaw took his seat in Tynwald, after taking oaths of allegiance to the Queen, and to carry out his duties as an MHK honourably and without fear or favour.
The new member for Douglas East was then welcomed by the Speaker of the Keys Steve Rodan, who said constituents had placed great faith in him to represent their interests fairly.
He told Mr Robertshaw he was now in a position of great privilege, following a long tradition:

'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
Public urged to consult on capacity
RNLI volunteers call for 'honest reflection' over 'decade of decline'
Island food producers have 'Great Taste'
